Rob is down on his luck, unlucky in love, totally broke. He has a razor sharp wit and cracking observations of those around him, then BAM, everything gets turned upside down, with more twists than a really twisty thing, your emotions are taken along for the ride!" Donna Moran, member of The Book Club"I loved this book! No Idea is a mystery romance, which is both thought provoking and emotional in places. With a great mix of characters, humour, adventure and an interesting twister of a plot, I think this would make a great TV mystery drama series." Jules Mortimer Book Likes Blog"No Idea is a novel which holds a lot of surprises and doesn't quite go in the direction you think it will. It starts off as a humorous story which then turns into a nail biting, edge of your seat read before turning into quite an emotional one. It was certainly a roller coaster of a read... yet another wonderful read from this author. 5/5 stars." Sarah Hardy, By The Letter Book Reviews"Oh how I loved 'No Idea' by Simon Page. I loved the characters in this book, and really enjoyed the sad times and the bits that had me laughing out loud. An excellent read and 4.5 juicy stars from me." Philippa McKenna, member of The Book Club"A very engaging story... No idea is a book about Russians and Cybercrime, but also about redemption, Love and justice. I thoroughly enjoyed it." Emma Read, Screenwiper Blogspot"Full of mystery, intrigue, love, surprises and shocks galore! 5/5 stars." Jo Walsh, member of The Book Club"A great book and a fantastic 5 star story that I couldn't put down." Craig Gillan, member of The Book Club"No Idea was an excellent read. I found it really funny and it appealed to my sense of humour. It was also touching, sad and uplifting. I would certainly recommend this book." Fiona Mccormick, member of The Book Club"A great book that takes you with Rob, Grace & family - sad, funny and had me holding my breath at times - loved it! A definite 'must read'." 5 stars. Debs Mallagh, member of The Book Club"Absolutely amazing, the best novel I've read this year by a long shot. There were several twists I didn't see coming and a story so well written and utterly absorbing that I couldn't stop reading. I didn't know what to expect when I started reading this book but by the end my spirits were lifted and I put this book down feeling happier than when I started it." Michelle Worthington"A fab book... I really wanted to know what would happen next! Very funny and sweet at the same time. A must read!" Sapna Agarwal Chamaria, member of The Book Club"This book started off very funny with Rob Wise a budding author sharing a flat with Rupert, Martin and his girl friend Michaela, aka Pit Bull. The flat is grubby and with only Pit Bull working, money is tight. When Rob tries to do their neighbour a favour that's when the fun starts. I loved it. 5 stars."

About the Author: Si Page was born in Romford, Essex in 1970 and grew up with a love of football, films, frolicking and females (the priority of the four 'F's reversed during his late teens). After attending three different secondary schools, Si decided it was a waste of time taking his GCE exams and bunked off to head for the workplace via the YTS scheme. Earning little more than twenty-something quid a week and a clip round the ear for cutting carpet 'very wonky', Si set off in search of new horizons. He describes the next ten years of his working life in grim fashion: 'I worked as a telesales 'thingy' (ew), vending machine salesman (spit), insurance clerk (snore), debt collector (ouch), recruitment consultant (liked that one) and a mortgage broker (worked for sharks and didn't last long).' Things drastically changed in 1996, when Si decided to study for a B.A. Hons. Theology Degree somewhere outside of Essex, in a strange land called 'The North'. Things were reportedly so bad 'oop North', Si fully expected to be living among whippet-racing peasants dressed in shell suits and living off a diet of mushy peas. After a car journey up the M6 motorway to a grassy dwelling called Cheshire, Si survived three years of student life, avoiding Sudden Death Syndrome by refusing to eat the carcasses cruelly served up in the college canteen. He finished his degree in 1999 and until 2007 he worked as a Reverend in the North West of England - Merseyside and Lancashire. Among more sophisticated company, he would like to point out that he resided a few miles away from two world class golfing resorts - the first near Royal Birkdale, and the second, a few cosy miles from Royal Lytham. Si has since been involved in a number of creative projects, including an Oscar-nominated short film called 'Most'. He has of course, written several hilarious books. First, this comedy novel, 'Missing Gretyl' (also a screenplay) and the second, a parody and satirical work on David Cameron, called 'The Inside Scoop: The Secret Journal of a Prime Minister.' His third and most recent novel, NO IDEA, was released on 1st Dec 2016 to excellent reviews. Totally dedicated to writing, Si has taken his classroom humour, workplace banter and life skills from the pastorate, to write funny, challenging and original drama.
