A great Saturday night last week for the Holland family. A familiar one and a new one for different reasons. Nikki and I have long supported the Anthony Nolan Trust – a charity that every year saves people’s lives. The charity stages the Daisy Ball at the Grosvenor House hotel each year – the daddy…
It is I the news because a professor has written a book debunking the notion of the ailment. On this subject, I have some experience because one of my boys was diagnosed as dyslexic when he was very young, seven I think. He was officially statemented which costĂ‚Â us a few bobĂ‚Â and his condition remains to…
Morning everyone, following the very successful last giveaway of my first novel, Only in America – I am ‘pleased’ to say that it is free again tomorrow at amazon. So if you fancy a novel that you can read in a day – or you have any friends who might fancy it – then please…
Lots of texts and emails from friends and family about Tom’s interview in the Metro today – and not London bound myself today, I might not have seen it. An interview that I have done myself in the past – and an interview for Tom that was not without it’s issues – the journo asking…

Great to have a full complement of Holland boys again, now that Tom is home last night – back from filming ‘In the Heart of the Sea.’ Another remarkable experience for the young man. Needless to say, the shoot was extraordinary and now it is back to school in Jan and a return to normality…
Apologies for my lack of posts of late. Lots going on and to report but been busy and waylaid. 2014 is going to be back to normal – when I will publish my new novel called – Open Links – which is currently half completed – and Tom will post TWEET – the short film…
My youngest son (the one who broke my leg) is my most shy andĂ‚Â has shown no desires at all to ever be on stage.Ă‚Â So when he was cast as Father Christmas in the school play – a starring role which required him to sing – Nikki and I were both surprised. We went along yesterday…
