Cuthbert Huntsman is the world's worst life coach, a bankrupt barfly with eight broken marriages, but he thinks he’s wiser than Jordan Peterson and Deepak Chopra combined.

In my first Cuthbert Huntsman book, How Not To Live Your Life, he is on a mission to track down humanity’s biggest losers and discover the rules of failure.

In the second, Cop Lives Probably Matter, the world's worst life coach meets London's most clueless cop in a twisted comedy crime tale of heists, hitmen, and murder. After being imprisoned for burgling his own home, Cuthbert takes revenge on the police by writing the most insultingly anti-cop crime novel in history. But the prison’s creative writing tutor just wants him to arrange a hit on her husband. Line of Duty meets The Shield in South Park.

In the third, Trigger Warning, the fate of a disgraced SAS hero lies in the hands of an unemployed life coach. Stuffed with survivalist advice, grit, guts, and bloodcurdling silliness, this edge-of-the-pants adventure takes the bestselling SAS thrillers of Andy McNab and Chris Ryan and plonks a hopeless pillock at the centre of the action.

In the accompanying novella, Artificial Stupidity, the world’s worst life coach falls out with his AI assistant, it cancels him, locks him in the garage, and cuts off his oxygen supply. The race is on to record his best advice for posterity. Join Cuthbert and learn how to look 10 years older, gain weight, complete his 30-day loser programme and have a total life do-over.

I was senior producer of Warner Bros’ and HBO’s Harry Potter Reunion, which wasn’t intentionally funny but was Emmy-nominated (it lost to Adele). My TV shows have featured Meg Ryan, Hugh Grant, Ralph Fiennes, Vic Reeves, Jimmy Carr, Joe Wilkinson, Josh Widdicombe, Ron Howard, Ross Noble, Sean Lock, Felix Dexter, Katherine Ryan, Will Self, Bill Bailey, Jonathan Ross, Seann Walsh, Susan Calman, David Haye, Stephen Merchant and even John Noakes.

I live in London, read English at King’s College, Cambridge, and once had dreams of literary greatness before my alter ego, the world's worst life coach Cuthbert Huntsman, ruined everything.

I'm an avid reader and excited to be part of this community.
