He has won several honours including the Brandford Boase, the Carnegie Medal and the Guardian Prize, British children's literature awards that recognise "year's best" books.

The Murdstone Trilogy (2014) and "Mr Godley's Phantom" were his first works aimed at adult readers.

He worked at a variety of jobs, including writer for educational publishers, before deciding to start a novel at age 52. He lived in Exmouth, Devon with his wife Elspeth Graham and their son Tom.
