I was born in London and have a great deal of affection for the City. It features heavily in my first novel. I have been self employed for the last 18 years but have always loved creativity and writing. I am musical and am often to be found in bars and clubs playing live music.. 12 Essays had an interesting start in life. I wrote and recorded an album which I labelled 'Essays In Love' which you can find on amazon and all the usual places. I recorded it under the name 'The Explorers' The album tells a story and I began to commit the story to paper. There is a song for each chapter that sets the tone sums up the changing emotions for our characters. Eventually we plan to record a full cast audio book of 12 Essays and to perform it live... Watch this space... My professional life is in leadership development and executive coaching and I am writing a development book called 'Leading With Executive Presence' which will be released early in 2019
