David Solomons to write Dr Who stories

Lifetime ambition achieved! Still can't believe I'm doing this, but the manuscript open on my Mac suggests it's real. https://t.co/ouq31pG7Bj

The author is perhaps best-known for My Brother is a Superhero, which was named Children’s Book of the Year in 2016, and the follow-up, My Gym Teacher is an Alien Overlord.

Mr Solomons grew up in Glasgow where he had a traditional Jewish upbringing and attended Giffnock Synagogue.

His wife is the novelist Natasha Solomons - the couple share a studio in the garden of their home in Dorset where they write, and occasionally collaborate.
