I’m heading back to Liverpool on 2nd May for an author talk at Liverpool Central Library, and I honestly can’t wait. I’ll be diving into Anfield Road, sharing stories behind the book, and talking about the films that shaped it.
This one feels special — I used to sit in that very library, soaking up inspiration, sketching ideas, and reading my way into the worlds I wanted to create. Coming back now to talk about the finished work feels like a full‑circle moment.
If you’re around, come down, say hi, and be part of it. It’s free, and you can book your ticket here.
The Anfield Road exhibition is now in full swing at Homebaked on Walton Breck Road. If you’re anywhere near the area, pop in, have a wander, and soak it all up. And while you’re there, do the only sensible thing — grab a legendary Homebaked pie. You’ll be supporting a community hub that’s been feeding and fuelling Anfield for years.
Most importantly, your visit helps shine a light on the Everton Library campaign, a fight to protect one of Liverpool’s most important cultural landmarks. Your presence genuinely makes a difference.
Go have a look. It’s worth the trip, the pie, and the library.
It’s been such a ride with this book — from the first sketches to holding the finished thing in my hands — and sharing it with people has been the best part of the whole journey.
If you can’t make it along to the Pool on 2nd May, you can still dive into the world of Anfield Road by grabbing a copy here. Every reader, every message, every conversation about the book has meant the world.
