Get Waffle Jones

Publish date: June 2025

Danger. Deceit. Detectives. Drugs. Dark secrets. And a spot of yoga.

Waffle Jones has a problem: his girlfriend has left him and he’s not sure why.

It could be because he can’t hold down a job, is totally unreliable, and fritters all their money away on dope, lager and chicken bhuna, but who knows for sure?

Still, he decides to clean up his life, get his act together, and win her back. The plan goes swimmingly for the first ten minutes until a large and mysterious bag lands at his feet. What’s inside leads to him being pursued across London by villains, detectives, and yoga instructors.

So now he has a very big problem. If only he was aware of it.

Fast-paced, darkly funny, and full of twists, romance, and moral dilemmas, this is London crime fiction with a Guy Ritchie kick and a surprisingly big heart.

From Nags to Numbnuts: A Skint Daddy’s Guide to Horses, Horse People & Horse Sports

Publish date: October 2018

Horses are wonderful, intelligent creatures that give a lifetime of love, companionship and the potential for incredible competitive sports.

On the other hand, if you’re the fool that foots the bills, they’re dreadful, needy creatures that can suck a bank account dry quicker than you can say “I think we need to buy a lorry”.

Follow one man’s journey into misery, mild alcohol dependence and, ultimately, probable financial ruin as he hilariously explains everything you need to know about the world of horses and horse sports.

This book is the first from Daniel Skinner who writes a blog under the name ‘Skint Dressage Daddy’, where he describes his life as a downtrodden husband and father in a house dominated by his daughter’s obsession with horses and dressage.

Described as “The funniest thing on the internet” and “So funny you’ll laugh till you cry”, the blog regularly attracts over 250,000 readers and posts have been featured in Horse & Hound and others.

Warning: The book contains much swearing!
