About me ...
I started working in the security industry way back in the late '80s. Firstly in the night time leisure industry, and then in close protection - both operations and training - in countries including Russia and the Balkans (during the conflict). I had a small international security training company which I sold in 2000, and began writing my first book Doing the Doors, which became a genre best-seller. I have been writing and publishing ever since.
I am now the author of a large number of books (over 60), including six non-fiction, true crime titles (publishers include Random House/Penguin, Mainstream, Constable Robinson and Milo), and two anthologies about the Kingdom of Bahrain, where I lived for four years. I have also written articles for magazines worldwide including; Signature, Sur La Terre, Gulf Insider, Time Out, Norfolk magazine, Absolute Lifestyle, T Qatar, Exotic Car magazine, and others, and help other writers and poets independently self-publish their own books via Amazon's global publishing platforms.
I am also mental health trained, and provide mental health & wellness support privately, to businesses, groups and organisations, as well as at events. I have also recently formed Safer Minds, an organisation promoting mental health awareness for the security industry, and I voluntarily run Poetry for Mental Health - inspiring thousands of people around the world to put pen to paper and transform their thoughts, feelings, and emotions into words.

New Release ...
ANXIETY & DEPRESSION
A collection of interviews, personal stories, poetry and short prose from around the world on the themes of anxiety and depression.
It is undeniable that putting thoughts, feelings and emotions into words, on paper, can be both therapeutic and an incredibly effective method of self-help and healing. In Anxiety & Depression, 114 writers and poets around the world (including: Australia, England, USA, Bahrain, Hong Kong, Philippines, Italy, India, Canada, Ukraine, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Cameroon, United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, Wales, Malawi, South Africa, Nigeria and Estonia) explore the themes of anxiety and depression, either from their own personal perspectives and experiences, or from the experiences of friends, family and people close by. Thought-provoking and emotional, but also positive and uplifting too as, for many, putting their thoughts and feelings into words has set many on the road to creativity, healing and ultimately recovery.
