    Terry Ravenscroft

    The day after Terry Ravenscroft threw in his mundane factory job to become a television comedy scriptwriter he was involved in a car accident which left him unable to turn his head. Since then he has never looked back. Before they took him away he wrote scripts for Les Dawson, The Two Ronnies, Morecambe and Wise, Alas Smith and Jones, Not the Nine O'Clock News, Ken Dodd, Roy Hudd, and several others. He also wrote the award-winning BBC radio series Star Terk Two. He now writes humorous books, 20 thus far with no signs of letting up. Three of them, Stairlift to Heaven, Dear Coca-Cola and Dear Air 2000 were in the top ten of the Kindle Best Sellers list at the same time. His latest novel is Serial Killer, his latest non-fiction book is the autobiographical Stairlift to Heaven 4 - Still Hanging On. Born in New Mills, Derbyshire, England in 1938, he still lives there with his girlfriend, Divine Bottom (in his dreams).
