Former British Bobby Tony Schumacher, born and bred in Liverpool, England, has written for The Guardian Newspaper, Huffington Post and local magazines. He is a regular on BBC Radio and London's LBC Radio and a popular panelist on Liverpool's own City Talk FM. He has written and presented short films for the BBC's Politics Show and he also won the "People Choice" Award at the recent "It's Liverpool" film awards. A collection of his columns for Liverpool and Manchester Confidential magazines was self-published last year. At various times he has been a stand-up comedian, bouncer, jeweler, taxi driver, perfume salesman, actor, garbage collector, and he once sold underwear in the Caribbean. He is now very glad he's finally got a proper job as a writer.
