One thing you should know about Rami Malek is that he has incredible core strength. I learned that the first time we met for Esquire Middle East , where he casually balanced himself mid-air like some kind of dashing human bridge. And that was just the start.... esquireme.com/culture/the-el…

Spoke to many wonderful people, who helped to weave a lovely tapestry of everything that makes E Pellicci great for Time Out London timeout.com/london/restaur…

Not only was this heaps of fun... but I found it a genuinely interesting way to think about writing. An essential listen for anyone who wants to hear me say, "Yeah, why not," upwards of four times in the space of an hour.

Where do ducks go during winter? Where will everyone with cyber sigilism tattoos and wraparound sunglasses migrate to now that GALA is over?

Men don’t read enough fiction. That might not be surprising, but it should be a cause for concern. That’s why I've compiled a list of books for Stylist Magazine that men will find entertaining, informative and perhaps even a little bit enlightening. stylist.co.uk/books/books-me…

Joel is a hapless 20-something. His girlfriend, Beth, would’ve been one too, had she not been obliterated by a very large cement truck. Three years on, he’s given himself a deadline to find love again. But just as he starts to fall for someone new… Beth starts turning up.

My debut novel is out in a week. Which is mad. If you like the sound of it, I'd love you to pre-order it wherever you like to get your books.

Lovely — and exceedingly surreal — to see 'Nearly Departed' featured in The Times and The Sunday Times alongside new novels from Anna Whitehouse, Ella Berman, and Holly Smale. thetimes.com/culture/books/…

Whenever I tell anyone that I’ve written a romantic comedy, I’ll get one of two responses. Women will generally say, “Aw”, and men will generally say, “Oh”. Here's me on why men should be reading (and writing) about love for Service95 –service95.com/why-more-men-n…

When I was 7, I wrote my first story. It was called ‘The Three Knights & The Dragon’. It was about three knights. And a dragon. And darts? I remember writing it and thinking: “This is what I want to do.” 22 years later and my debut novel, ‘Nearly Departed’, is out. Surreal.

The very lovely lucas dropped in to sign copies of his new book for us yesterday. I am about half way through it and really enjoying it! Oh, and he's a local SE London author!
