Skiddy is a scream, GA. I've known him since newspaper days in the sixties when we shared night news shifts together on the Daily Mirror (when it was still a newspaper) ... but wow ... what a writer. He has nearly thirty novels to his name. Many have been international best sellers and are now out of print and he's offered us full rights (with his royalties paid to charities he supports) to re-issue, so there'll be a few more Ian Skidmore titles popping up at BeWrite Books as the months roll on. The bloke's bloody wonderful ... and one of the few TRUE English eccentrics still on the planet before the species becomes extinct. A great old pal. Glad you're enjoying his momoire. Bestests. Nei
PS:He has a blog, by the way, that's updated every weekend. Lots of fun if you want to pay a visit:
