Alan Brough

About

Alan Brough was born in New Zealand and is quite a bit older than he’d like to be. Alan has always loved books and, from an early age, wanted to be a writer. Then he and his Dad went to see Star Wars and Alan decided that, actually, he really, really, really, really, really wanted to be an actor.

After having been an actor for a while Alan realised there wasn’t that much work for a 6’4″ guy with a slightly lopsided face and thick curly hair so he tried his hand at directing, broadcasting, composing, dancing (true!), singing and, in an unexpected turn of events, being a professional music nerd.

Recently, he got around to being a writer.

One day he hopes to have a bio that includes phrases like ‘bestselling’, ‘award-winning’ and ‘so successful that he recently bought a solid gold toilet’ but, until then, he’s just happy to look at his copy of Charlie and the War Against the Grannies and think: ‘Cool! I wrote a book!’
