First there was a cat, his witch and her magical snot.
Then there was an orphan, a half-pint highwayman and an unrobbable stagecoach.
Now there is… THE TIME TOILET!

I’ve done it. I’ve made it a hat-trick! This is the third time I have been long listed for the Undiscovered Voices Competition. And in honour of all things hat-trickery it seems only right that there is a strong football element to my new story.
‘School footy hero ‘Great’ Scott Gray has no time. No time for homework, no time for friends and no time for Mum’s vintage home improvements. But when Nana accidentally flushes herself away on a reclaimed Victorian time-travelling toilet he has to make time. With the help of science geek Jahid and the toilet’s crackpot inventor George Cavendish they go in search of Nana. But will Scott make it back for his school’s first-ever cup final?’
'The Time Toilet’ is a story a long time in the plumbing and wasn't inspired by my love of football but my love of toilets! I mean, it is completely normal to hang around old Victorian public loos and photograph them isn’t it?
‘The Time Toilet’ is a latrine punk novel that’s going to yank your chain and leave you flushed! It's packed full with football mad heroes, mad crackpot scientists, knitting, near misses, friends, Romans, and medieval countrymen. Quite frankly it has more twists than the spaghetti junction sewers!
So, in the true tradition of trilogies, will this third UV encounter lead to a satisfying resolution? Only time will tell. I’ll just have to sit down, buckle up and wait to see what lies around the u-bend.
(Purple is my favourite colour, just sayin’).
