'It's a very funny book, it's a very moving book' – BBC 'Essential reading for any new parent' – MANtenatal Partner pregnant. Less than nine months to prepare. Holy s**t – you're going to be a daddy! Now, a soon-to-be first-time father is charting a course through the perilous and choppy waters of living with a pregnant woman. He's dodging hormonal right hooks, evading emotional explosions, saying all the wrong things (like 'Are you okay?') and trying to figure out how the hell you install a car seat. Written as a journal to his unborn child, Dear Dory is the unfiltered, irreverently funny, honest and heartfelt account of one man's journey to fatherhood as he contemplates his new identity as a Daddy and prepares for the responsibility of a lifetime. WARNING: This book contains a truckload of profanity. 'Accessible and unvarnished, it's bound to strike a chord with dads everywhere' – workingdads.co.uk 'Uproariously funny from beginning to end' – Reedsy Discovery 'Humourous, satirical, reflective, refreshing, and heartfelt' – Melisende's Library
- Dear Arlo: Adventures in Dadding: Adventures in Dadding, #2

'A funny and heart-warming daddy diary' – My Baba 'Absolutely brilliant' – (not so) Secret Dads Business 'Honest and incredibly relatable' – Not Half Dad Podcast It begins immediately. There's no transition period, no trial run, no supervised training, no e-learning module and no simulation that you can f**k up as many times as you need to until you get it right. As soon as the midwife hands you your newborn baby, you are responsible for keeping it alive. Picking up moments after Dear Dory ends, Dear Arlo: Adventures in Dadding continues the story of one dad and his journal as he strives to survive the first year of parenthood, blundering his way through bottle-sterilising, night feeds and some cataclysmic nappy changes – all while a pandemic sweeps across the planet. WARNING: ONCE AGAIN, THIS BOOK CONTAINS A LOT OF SWEARING
- Toddler Inc.: Adventures in Dadding, #3

Toddlers are savages. They scream, shout, rebel, slap, destroy, throw food and purposely withhold their love and affection – just to watch your soul snap and your spirit shatter. And all before 8 a.m. And yet, they're also misunderstood creatures: funny and beautiful – endearing little marvels that brighten up your day. But mostly they're savages. The Adventures in Dadding series continues with this highly entertaining third entry, captured by one dad and his journal. Blunt, honest and absurd – this is Toddler Inc. WARNING: the author swears an awful lot
- The Search for Sanity: Adventures in Dadding, #4
