    About this ebook

    King Derek, the King of Dudley, is one of the most loved Kings in all the land. Then King Derek sees an advert in 'The Royal Gazette' that reads, “Wonder Wizards make all things Wonderful”.

    Wonder Wizards come in many different colours. But be careful what you wish for King Derek, because it is Wonder Wizard policy never to reverse spells. Oh, King Derek what have you done?

    Finally, 25 years after I started writing it, I am publishing my début novel. It started in a time long before Google, Sky TV, iphones and X-Factor . Now it ends up being an E-book as well. For the last four years I have been writing weekly humorous blogs based on SharePoint, but I really always wanted to be, in the words of the Beatles, a 'Paperback Writer'. So finally I have released my first fictional romantic comedy, 'First Years - Piranhas in the Bedroom'. Hopefully the first of a series of nostalgic books about an unfortunate young man called Jonathan Stadler, a Villa fan like me. The books hope to appeal to the sense of humour of the male reader in his 40's. At some point in our lives we have all found ourselves in the kind of situations that Jon does. My influences have been two terrific authors in Mike Gayle and Nick Hornby. Now to continue with my mid-life crisis by releasing a series of children books ... Is the world ready for 'King Derek and the Wonder Wizards'?

      It was lovely to hear the ‘new’ Duke of Edinburgh speak so movingly of his father, Prince Philip, in interviews to mark his 60th birthday. I can’t quite believe that Prince Edward is 60 – to me, it always seems that he and wife Sophie are still the

      King Derek, the King of Dudley, was one of the loveliest Kings there ever was. He was a King who was never too busy for anyone. Nobody was ever turned away from Dudley Castle. Even stray dragons were taken in.

      Everyone in the Kingdom of Dudley was very happy. Well, nearly everyone. The only person, who was not happy, was King Derek himself. You see, he had a very pretty wife called Queen Queenie, but could not understand how such a beautiful Queen could love a little chubby bald man. Especially one with such an enormous nose!

      The sorry truth was that King Derek’s nose was bigger than any other nose in Dudley and it made him sad.

      One morning, King Derek and Queen Queenie were having breakfast when King Derek saw an interesting advert in his newspaper
