Toby Stone

Toby Stone went to the same school as Benny Hill and Batman (Christian Bale). They didn't attend at the same time, which is a pity as the chase sequences would have been amazing.

As a teenager, Toby briefly considered becoming a journalist. This lasted until a local radio station asked him to conduct a street poll on how often men change their underwear. The first respondent, who was lying on a bench at the time of the interview, advised, "Never". He had a rather large beard.

As an adult, Toby has been a toy-seller, an Avon Lady, Double-Glazing Salesman of the Week, a school governor and a bingo caller. This is his first published novel.
