Hi, I'm Phil Sculthorpe.

Over the years I've worked in the NHS, played guitar and sung in many bands; composed plenty of songs; acted and done some voice-over work.

Oh and, of course, given writing a go.

Without being too self-deprecatory, while I'm no Tolstoy, I think I'm pretty adept at creating amusing tosh.

My first book - out now on Amazon- is Christmas Glitter, a set of quirky, silly short stories designed to help you get through the festive season with your sense of humour still intact.

It has a bit of swearing and some cheeky bits - hence the 'for Grown Ups' label - but nothing terribly offensive.

You can find it on Amazon here:
