One of the most enjoyable things about working for the Transmitter magazine is meeting interesting people who live and work in my local community.
I love the prospect of passing strangers gradually becoming people with whom you can share a wave and a hello, and one particular person I look forward to seeing around the triangle again is Phil Earle.
We met after he had trekked back from a long day working in Birmingham and I’m pretty sure having his picture taken was the last thing he wanted to do, however he greeted me with a beaming smile and we instantly hit it off.
I found Phil to be a really lovely guy and although I am probably a bit old to be his target audience (only marginally of course…!), by all accounts he is also a tremendously talented teen fiction writer.
