About
I've been a journalist for more than two decades, working for a wide range of well-known outlets both as staff and as a freelance, including Al Jazeera, the BBC (World, News Channel and website) and The Telegraph.
I was Assistant Editor and Editor-at-Large for the ground-breaking Doha News in Qatar for six years, before its sale and closure following government censorship in 2017.
In 2019 I was appointed Lead Tutor for the NCTJ Journalism Diploma at Sutton College, London. I took up my post at Kingston in 2021.
When I'm not teaching, I write novels. My first three were published by Head of Zeus/Bloomsbury, and the next three by Boldwood Books. I have a contract for four more. Two of my novels have charted in the Amazon Top 100, and Patience was a Booksellers' Association Book of the Month.
