For everything about the Beard Wizard of Northampton old and new. With his novel series starting and the Bumper Book of Magic finally about to drop it seemed like a good time to start.

    He’s still writing? I thought he retired a few weeks back.

      The Bumper Book of Magic has been in the pipeline that a number of contributors are dead but the novel he is promoting now is the first in a series, we already know the name of the next one.

      He effectively retired from writing comics in mid-2019 but signed a book deal with Bloomsbury for his short story collection and the five novel series we are starting to get. At the time he declared himself to be “bursting with fiction”. I’m not aware of anything that suggests he is ready to throw the towel in quite yet. In fact, he seems reinvigorated.
