Title
Iain Aitch: Writer, author of A Fete Worse Than Death
Description
I was born in Margate, Kent to the sound of a ropey tape recording of the Bow Bells – as all good Margatonians are. I was christened on the Scenic Railway and later renounced my faith in the River Caves. I didn't like school, they didn't like me and I got out of town as soon as I could. And no, I never slept with Tracey Emin (though, as you can see on the articles page, I did meet her last summer).
Somehow the evil people at the dole office tricked me into working there. It took me some years to realise that, despite my vastly improved blackjack skills, the job wasn't me. I invented World Phone in Sick Day, became a writer and began organising an annual drunken rampage by 180-odd Santa Clauses.
2003 saw the publication of my first book, A Fête Worse Than Death, in hardback. It was published in paperback in June 2004 and should be followed by another book in 2006. I still write for a host of newspapers and magazines, still need to tidy up my office and I live in London.
