About this ebook
King Derek, the King of Dudley, has a lovely wife, Queen Queenie, but he just wishes she didn't sing so badly. Nobody has ever heard anything quite like the singing Queen Queenie.
Surely King Derek isn't thinking of calling Wonder Wizards again? Didn't he learn his lesson last time? Oh no, here comes the Green Wizard. There's trouble ahead for King Derek.

Finally, 25 years after I started writing it, I am publishing my début novel. It started in a time long before Google, Sky TV, iphones and X-Factor . Now it ends up being an E-book as well. For the last four years I have been writing weekly humorous blogs based on SharePoint, but I really always wanted to be, in the words of the Beatles, a 'Paperback Writer'. So finally I have released my first fictional romantic comedy, 'First Years - Piranhas in the Bedroom'. Hopefully the first of a series of nostalgic books about an unfortunate young man called Jonathan Stadler, a Villa fan like me. The books hope to appeal to the sense of humour of the male reader in his 40's. At some point in our lives we have all found ourselves in the kind of situations that Jon does. My influences have been two terrific authors in Mike Gayle and Nick Hornby. Now to continue with my mid-life crisis by releasing a series of children books ... Is the world ready for 'King Derek and the Wonder Wizards'?
