I write books that take you on a journey to foreign and exotic places, blending history, adventure, and suspense into a gripping tale. In my books, you'll find yourself transported to places like the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, the glitzy skyscrapers of Hong Kong, or the shady backstreets of Kathmandu in Nepal. But it's not just about the locations; my stories are also filled with fascinating characters, unexpected twists, and edge-of-your-seat action. It was visiting India for the first time that actually made me want to start writing. The sun had just risen as we landed at Mumbai airport.

People washing, children playing, chickens, cows, goats, all beside an eight-lane motorway. I love sharing my stories and am proud to say that my books have been well-received by readers and reviewers. One of the greatest compliments I get is when people say that my books transport them to a new place. Although people often comment on the loveable characters, intricate plots, and fast-paced storytelling too. And I'm always working hard to bring you even more thrilling adventures.
