Bob Bratt has turned his hand to many occupations, from Cup Sponger at the age of 15 for one of Stoke on Trent's long-forgotten pottery firms, to welder, buyer and seller of electrical goods, gardener and, most recently, writer. After travelling through Europe and Africa with his wife, and having the pleasure of meeting some of the world's oddest and funniest people, through his work life and abroad, Bob felt the urge to give writing a go and put together his first novel, Killing for Coin.
