Alphaheart is James Kerr and Matthew Johnstone.  We first met by an accident of the alphabet, J for Johnstone and K for Kerr, when allocated adjacent school lockers. It was the start of a lifelong friendship. And the beginning of Alphaheart.

The work we do is about the things we’ve learned about life from living it. Over the years we’ve each experienced highs and the lows, joys and blows, the upside and the downside, and have somehow (so far) survived to tell our tale…a story, we hope, of joy and redemption, gratitude and love, of obstacles overcome.

A few years ago we wrote a book together, The Alphabet of the Human Heart, and it became a Number 1 best seller in the UK and is published in markets as diverse as New Zealand, Australia, Greece and China. Now we’re doing a column in the Daily Mail called The Alphabet of Love.

In our books and our column, we hope to capture a glimpse of what life and love is, and in doing so, provide some inspiration, consolation, help and hope – and maybe a smile – to anyone kind enough to pay attention.

Welcome to our world

Matthew and James
