Spencer Hart

Legend has it that Spencer Wesley Hart's name (at least the first two; the surname was always going to be his by default) was determined by the outcome of a coin toss on 24th February, 1974. One parent wanted Wesley, after 'John Wesley Harding' - a popular album of the time by Bob Dylan. The other preferred Spencer, after American actor Spencer Tracy. He likes to think he did well out of it, being named after a heartthrob as opposed to a Texas outlaw.

A dab hand at various cool but useless past-times and keen musician, 'Ziggy & Sputnik: Cosmic Conundrum' is his first novel.
