…. is based on the life-story of my father, who died in 2002. It’s made up of two main parts:

My Father keeps the PM waiting (1970) is a heavily fictionalised, short-novel-length account of a pivotal week in my father’s life; the few days before and after the 1970 general election, in which he worked as a key publicity adviser to Harold Wilson.

Scenes from My Father’s life (1926-2002) consists of a series of short pieces based on incidents and episodes from the entirety of my father’s life. Again, most of these are heavily fictionalised, though a few are drawn directly from my own recollections of my father.

When I’m writing about a fictional character based, more or less loosely, on my father, he appears as My Father; when I am writing about the man I remember, it’s my father.

If you would like to know more about who my father really was, you can read one of his obituaries here.

My Father keeps the PM waiting is available to read free of charge, either online or as a downloadable ebook. 

There are currently no plans for a print edition.
