Hello. I’m Stephen Fothergill.

I’m a Yorkshireman, and both my writing and my voice reflect my North of England ancestry.

Gritty, phlegmatic, earthy are all adjectives that describe the way I speak and my writing too. But I’m always good for a laugh, and I try wherever possible to infuse my prose with humour.

Charlie Codfish And the Runaway Seal

£7.99

Charlie Codfish is a character who I created when inventing bedtime stories for my two sons. I hated reading to them from books, so in a snap decision I put down the latest book and started to invent my own stories.
From that point I invented a new Charlie Codfish story every night for years after.

Coming soon…

Charlie Codfish and the Grippia

The sequel to book one in the series. Charlie and Kira are determined to overcome a pod of vicious orcas in a desperate quest to return a prehistoric dolphin ancestor to his Arctic home.

Charlie Codfish and the Kraken

The third book in the Charlie Codfish series finds Charlie locked in a desperate struggle to prevent the capture of a giant octopus by unscrupulous fishermen.
