s!m shop

OK, it’s not much of a shop seeing as there’s only one thing for sale – in fact, it’s got the feel of a school fete, where one bonkers old dear sets up a trestle table selling nothing but cacti – but I’ll be stocking the shelves with nifty new stuff very soon.

So, until I’m properly open for business, can I interest you in a copy of my book, Everything A Girl Needs To Know About Football?

It was book of the week in the Mail on Sunday and the football magazine 442 described it as “A humorous look at the way the two halves of the population approach the game… teasing out these differences in a gentle and amusing way." Which was nice of them.

According to the blurb it’s: “A funny, smart and informative novelty/gift book that will give girls a crash course on the rules, lingo and etiquette of the world's favourite sport. If you're the type of girl who can nip to the pub loo and stop for a chat in front of the big screen in the 89th minute of a game – without realising that you've done anything wrong – then this book's for you. If you're a man whose partner interrupts crucial matches with questions about 'what those flags in the corners of the field are for', then you need to buy her this book.”

OK, that’s enough of the pitch, if you like what you’ve seen, you can buy it here
