I'm a Sheffield lad who spent thirty years as a litigation lawyer before Parkinson's arrived in 2020, when I was fifty. I followed England to Australia for the first time in 1994, aged twenty four, and bought my first Barmy Army shirt in a Sydney pub.

Thirty-one years later I went back, this time with Parkinson's for company, and followed the whole 2025/26 Ashes from Perth to the SCG.

Still at the Crease: An Ashes Journey is the story of that tour, and of showing up when it would be easier not to. All author proceeds from the book go to Cure Parkinson's.

I'm now studying for a Masters in Creative Writing at Cambridge.
