Alex Marsh is a writer and author who has produced short columns for The Guardian, jokes for BBC Radio 4 and was a teenage columnist for ZX Spectrum Adventurer magazine. As a commercial copywriter, he has worked on everything from recruitment material for MI5 to advertising blurb for some of Britain's best-selling board games. Alex's alter-ego blog Private Secret Diary achieved Internet fame with its comic snapshots of English rural life and formed the backdrop to his first book, Sex and Bowls and Rock and Roll while his love of the music of Georges Brassens and Jake Thackray was the inspiration for The Resurrection of Frederic Debreu. An experienced public speaker, Alex lives close to the Norfolk North coast.
