Michael Roberts works in IT Support but has always enjoyed writing. As a child, he wrote a short story about a boy with a magic tea tray; when Michael's father entered it into a national competition, this story became a runner-up. Mick is a huge fan of Manchester United and has seen over a thousand matches in fourteen countries. He writes articles for a Manchester United fanzine and is in the process of putting together stories for a book following the club. Mick enjoys walking in the British countryside and, as a keen real ale imbiber, loves the country pubs that he is often fortunate enough to find at the end of nearly every walk. He will shortly have a piece published in the Fylde Ale CAMRA magazine.
