Security
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.
Writing & Publishing
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), Finding Work as a Close Protection Specialist (with over 10,000 free downloads, probably the most widely read manual of its kind), 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.
Mental Health & Wellness
I am also mental health trained, and provide mental health & wellness support privately, as well as to individuals, businesses, groups and organisations and at events across the East Anglian region. I have also recently formed Safer Minds, an organisation promoting mental health awareness for the security industry. And lastly ... Since the start of COVID, 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.
