Richard Sutherland is the author of 'The Unitary Authority of Ersatz', a quirky collection of short stories and humorous poetry. People used to tell him that he looked like Clark Kent, but now he's had a haircut that makes him look more like Morrissey.

A lifelong dream of his is to one day spell 'ziggurat' in Scrabble on a triple word tile. His favourite paint colour is Cornish Pasty.
