About the Author
Laurence Simpson spent most of his working life in advertising, where he was known as 'Loz' and where he won numerous major awards in London, Cannes and New York. He lives in Surrey with his wife, whose hobbies include blowing out nearside front tyres by mounting the kerb at speed, smashing headlamp units by driving into the backs of other peoples' cars and, counter-productively, losing her car keys.
