Mike Leaver Author

Mike Leaver, 70, lives off-grid in a converted, static truck on a business park in Snowdonia. As well as writing his autobiography and first three modern-fiction novels – largely on a laptop by candlelight in his lorry – he has finished penning the second part of his life story. Like Alan Bennett’s the Lady in the Van, Mike has become a well-known eccentric around his adopted home of Gwynedd.
