It gives me great pleasure to announce that my most recent Swansea City book, Match of My Life, is receiving a brand-new edition for 2024! After the original printing of Swansea City Match of My Life sold out last year, the book is set to be released as a paperback in August 2024. It will…
Short But Sharp: Men’s Fitness Article
I’m pleased to announce that I have once again been published in Men’s Fitness magazine, as the lead article in the May 2024 edition. Earlier in the year, I put myself through an eight-week experiment. I tested whether I could save time by working out like legendary bodybuilder Mike Mentzer. For the uninitiated, Mentzer is…
New Projects 2024!
Is it too late to wish everyone a happy new year? Probably. Although oddly, someone actually wished me a merry Christmas a few days ago and, midway through January, that felt a little strange. Festive, but strange. Anyway, after a quieter end to last year, I am back working on some new projects, which I’ll…
My Men’s Fitness Article! (How Do You Become a Firefighter?)
How do you become a firefighter? Strangely, for a writer such as myself, I can actually give you a very good insight… In 2021, I decided to apply to become a wholetime firefighter with my local fire and rescue service (wholetime basically means full-time, or not a volunteer). I wrote an article about my experience…
My Bordeaux Travel Experience (Wine Tour!)
At the end of May this year, I decided to travel to Bordeaux, for one main reason: WINE! 🍷 Well, actually I was there for a stag trip to celebrate the upcoming marriage of my good friend Steve. So, if you want to get technical, I was there for Steve and wine. Now, I know…

Planet Health is my way of exploring the world in search of different nutrition and wellbeing traditions to see…
Surviving Turf Games Winter Festival (2023)!
“Turf Games Winter Festival? Nope.” Of course, I was fooling nobody. Six months later, following my adventures at Ealing Trailfinders Rugby Club at Turf Games Summer Festival, I was off to Farnborough for the Winter Festival in February 2023. Yep, a glutton for punishment. Once again, I’ve decided to share a few of my thoughts…
Chris on the Simply Vegan podcast!
This week, I have been guest podcasting on a very respected vegan podcast – Simply Vegan! You may already know about my own podcast called Planet Health, which explores health and wellbeing traditions from around the world and what we can learn from them. However, this is the first time I have guest starred on…
The Swansea City Trilogy: Behind the Scenes
In this ‘behind the scenes’ article, I am going to give you some insight into the Swansea City trilogy, from your favourite Swansea author (which, I assume, is me). It’s been over four years since Match of My Life was released, but I still enjoy chatting to Swans fans about these three books. Every time…
NEW! ‘Planet Health’ Podcast
It’s time to introduce you to my new podcast, Planet Health! You can currently listen to it on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, or Anchor. Earlier in the year, I announced that I would be releasing a podcast, and – after procrastinating for a bit too long – I launched the first episodes in October 2022. Let’s answer…
