The Barrister Blog is written by Tim Kevan who is a barrister and writer. His novel BabyBarista and the Art of War (Bloomsbury, 2009) is based on the blog he writes for The Times. He is also the co-author of Why Lawyers Should Surf and writes a monthly column for Devon Life. He lives by the sea, goes surfing at the merest hint of swell and is a co-founder of two businesses. See www.timkevan.com. You can buy his books on amazon.

BabyBarista and the Art of War

BabyBarista and the Art of War
BabyBarista and the Art of War is published by Bloomsbury and was described by broadcaster Jeremy Vine as "a wonderful, racing read - well-drawn, smartly plotted and laugh out loud" and by The Times as "a cross between The Talented Mr Ripley, Rumpole and Bridget Jones’s Diary". It is based upon the blog he writes for The Times which was described by The Lawyer as "genius".

Why Lawyers Should Surf

Why Lawyers Should Surf
Why Lawyers Should Surf (co-authored with Dr Michelle Tempest) was described by The Times Online as "a song for the modern age which could well become a cult classic" and The Independent said that it "give[s] you the mental equivalent of a perfect day at Sunset Beach". Reviews and extracts can be found here.
