For those of you who have read this blog from its inception – or have read my book, how tom holland eclipsed his dad – you might forgive me now for taking TomĂ‚Â and my strange family lifeĂ‚Â a little bit for granted.Ă‚Â I have long since dealt with the idea of being eclipsed and in the Holland…
AĂ‚Â good thing about the internet is just how liberating it is. The internet has circumvented the inevitable ‘NO’ from the publisher, broadcaster, editor,Ă‚Â director… As a writer, I can publish anything that I write. A new novel. An article. A non-fiction book. A new DVD. A shortĂ‚Â film or even a feature. But the problem remains ofĂ‚Â selling…
OnĂ‚Â The Wright Stuff this morning – I met Carrie Grant – the well known singing coach,Ă‚Â One Show presenter and wife ofĂ‚Â singer, David Grant.

My mate shoved on the DVD version – Nikki and the boys chucked theirĂ‚Â opinions inĂ‚Â and quickly, we signed off on the art work and the…
