When you've written non-fiction all your life it is a huge leap to writing something that is 100% from your own head. Self-publishing a novel makes me feel vulnerable and exposed and I can't be 100% confident in what I've produced. So comments like these are lovely thesquareball.net/shop/days-of...

You've read all the facts about Leeds United you will ever need to know, now read the fiction.
I've written a coming-of-age novel about male friendship rooted in football & counterculture. It's called 'Days of Treacle'.
