Writings

edit

His self-published 2012 e-books Love From Both Sides and Love And Sleepless Nights were both best-sellers.[1][3][4] Love From Both Sides, which he describes as "a warts-and-all romantic comedy for everyone who knows how tricky the quest for love can be," sold a quarter of a million copies in 2012.[5][6]

Based on that book's success he signed up with Hodder and Stoughton.[5][7] His books are currently published by Amazon Publishing's Lake Union imprint.[5] He has some self-published books still published by Notting Hill Press and is often referred to as a 'hybrid' author because of this.[8]

Spalding has written articles for the Writers' & Artists' Yearbook[9] and has held a writing masterclass for The Guardian.[10]
