I’m the author of A is for Angelica, a contemporary fiction novel published by Legend Press in 2012. 

It's about one man struggling with the fate of his seriously ill wife while busying himself with the comings and goings of his neighbours. Especially Angelica. And Benny. Angelica and Benny together. 

A is for Angelica has been compared to 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time' by Mark Haddon, the film 'Rear Window' by Alfred Hitchcock. There has been talk of Alan Bennett.

Praise for A is for Angelica:

‘A brilliant, dark comedy with beautiful moments of pathos.’ 
Nathan Filer, Costa Prize Winner 2013

‘A first novel that confidently moves from dark comedy that’s genuinely funny to even darker despair that grows from moving to harrowing… really impressive’
The Daily Mail

‘An oddly addictive and often hilarious read… Presented in uncomplicated, unembellished prose, this is a brilliant and adeptly written debut novel, loaded with poignancy and feeling.’ 
Time Out

In 2014, A is for Angelica won a Coventry Inspiration Book Award in the Word of Mouth category.
