First I was busy with work, then I was ill, and now it’s half term - so my presence on socials has been minimal… hoping normal service will be resumed in a week or two!

If you enjoyed season two of The Night Manager, and are interested in finding out more about Colombia (my motherland) and in particular Medellín then you could always check out my book…

“Splendid and terrible”, “an extraordinary journey”

Sangue e pallone, "Narcoball" di Arrowsmith, splendido e terribile, racconta la rinascita "sporca" del calcio colombiano diretta dal potente e temuto narcotrafficante

Narcoterrorism, politics, the war on drugs, extradition… they’re all back in the news with Trump’s actions in Venezuela. And they all feature in my book Narcoball. Along with the incredible intertwined story of Pablo Escobar’s lifelong obsession with football. Could be a timely read?

Charlotte’s Web audiobook read by the author himself, E.B. White.

Wow.

Just wow.

10/10.

No notes.

Absolute perfection.

Made a long, snowy car journey from Utrecht to Hove with MrsA and Little Miss A just fly by.

Joyous.

Last push this week and next to get the full, complete manuscript edited, locked and ready to be sent to print. Bit of a last minute pre-Xmas stress but will feel great when it’s all done!

So…

Not a terrible XI by any stretch but…

Mbappé, Salah, Raphinha and Luís Diaz all have worthy cases for inclusion if you ask me… in fact Daniel Muñoz also deserves a shout!

Who do you think should have been recognised?

And who definitely shouldn’t be in there?
