About the Author

Steve is in his 40s and still doesn't know what he wants to be when he grows up.He has been a sub-postmaster, a head doorman on some of the toughest nightclubs on Tyneside, worked for the infamous Kray twins when they were incarcerated, trained to become a professional actor starring on stage and screen, was part of the football fanzine revolution in the 90s... oh and he's written and produced some canny books along the way. In his spare time he follows Newcastle United and Dunston UTS Football Clubs, likes to read books and watch documentaries on crime and he is a devoted Freemason. He's got more contacts than a call centre, author liaison extraordinaire and is an ideas man with a publicity plan.
