I have written books and articles across a wide range of subjects, mostly within the areas of health, self-help, psychology, crafts and wildlife.

I have drawn experience from clinical and managerial experience within the NHS as well as medical and humanitarian charity work. I have also worked within the editing department of Middle East Economic Digest and as assistant editor of Medical Ethics Bulletin.

Having worked for 14 months as editor of 12 categories of the Open Directory Project (DMOZ), an internet search directory, I have extensive experience of managing and co-ordinating the online presence of individuals and companies.

Published Photographs

My portrait photographs have been published in numerous publications, including The Observer and The Guardian. I have not placed these on this site as they comprise people with medical conditions, and such images could be re-used and abused on the internet. I am happy to supply relevant information to commissioning editors, as necessary.
