Mike Dicks was born in Bishops Stortford, England. He grew up in Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire, and then moved around a lot,having what is best described as a 'portfolio career,’ and a life of creating anecdotes about himself. Mike lives by the sea in Brighton, (Hove, actually) England with his dog, and co-author, Scrabble. His first book, ‘Mike&Scrabble - a guide to owning your new Human’ was published in early 2017.
Scrabble was born on an Irish puppy farm to a randy Jack Russell father and a Dachshund mother (or the other way round). She left Ireland in 2016 to find fame as an author in England – Sussex, to be precise – where she adopted a stray Human called Mike, with whom she provided the inspiration for, and co-wrote, her first book, ‘Mike&Scrabble - a guide to owning your new Human.’
