After teaching Design & Technology at a secondary school in England, Alex Ford decided to pack away his corduroy trousers and tweed jacket to travel the world. While living in Tokyo, Japan, updating his Facebook friends about 'What was on his mind...' he wrote his first novel, The Friend Request, a Facebook-based thriller. Still writing and travelling, his second novel, Karl & the Prankster God, is due for release later this year.
It seems highly unlikely he will return to the classroom any time soon.
