Craig Killick

Born in the early seventies, Craig Killick hails from the London overspill town of Basingstoke in the south of England and has never quite escaped.

Having been involved in marketing since the mid-nineties, he has spent since the turn of the millennium honing his voice to the point where he finally felt justified in writing a book. He just needed something to write about.

So, combined with his love of cycling, his first book - Basingstoke To Benidorm - charts a solo journey from his home town to Spain on two wheels, with a retrospective look at all that comes with a trip like it, with a few observations about the changing world and growing up in the eighties.

Craig also writes poetry and pieces about life in general on his own website.

"Real life is so much richer than fiction. It's just a case of getting out and noticing the nonsensical in everything."
