Books

Jonny Sweet started out winning the Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Newcomer in 2009, and in the intervening years, his work for screen has been varied and exceptional. 

His debut novel will be published in 2024 - THE KELLERBY CODE: Edward Jevons finds himself living life in a world he can’t afford and to which he doesn’t belong. His ability to camouflage himself amongst his friends has seen him sort-of-comfortably through University, the only damage being a horribly unrequited love for one of his two best friends. Now, it threatens to erase him totally. When Edward is pushed too far, though, his instinctive, deferential people-pleasing begins to morph into something with unspeakable violence at its core. Are there limits to what he will do for his friends? Are there limits to what he will do to them?
