I am from the UK and spend most of my working life as a writer. A large percentage of this time is concentrated upon technical and academic writing on subjects that relate mainly to the business, financial and political issues, nationally and internationally; tasks that entail a great deal of detailed research. These projects range from the practical, including financial reporting, to psychological issues, which includes organizational culture and understanding consumer perceptions and demands.

In addition to this, I have also undertaken a great deal of fiction writing, both for reward and pleasure. Within this part of my writing career my work has ranged from Ghost-writing, short stories, articles, poetry, novels and scriptwriting. To date I have published works in all of these genres excepting scriptwriting.

My published works include:

Technical and Academic

A beginners Guide to Success in Business
A beginners Guide to Successful Cash Flows and Budgets

Non-Fiction

Memoirs of an Average Man (Ghostwritten)

Fiction
