Sweaty and Pals, the first of the Sweaty series (for younger readers) is now out in print and on kindle… It takes readers back to Derek’s days as a young child – it even explains how Derek became Sweaty to his friends. Written as a collection of short stories and set firmly in the early eighties, this is a book perfect for class discussions about a world before human rights, before discrimination Acts and before life got complicated… where what is important are the friendships you make and keep for life – and kids were happy to explore what made them different – be it height or a stammer or a speech impediment.

Derek has found his calling – a cause to fight for – a disaster to avert… but, this is DEREK… so what can go wrong?
Derek to the Rescue – Derek has a CAUSE but, being Derek, he also has a host of misunderstandings to sort out, mistakes to rectify and a wife to mollify.
As a natural leader, he knows that beating the Railway Developers is down to him. As a natural disaster area, we know it is unlikely to go quite to plan. In Mac Black’s fifth and final Derek book the plot is stirred as poor gullible Derek tries his best and makes us laugh all the way to the end!
Derek travels from child to confused adult, from reporter for the local paper to any job available, doing everything he thinks he should, but doing it his way.
