I used to write, read and live in Cairo, KL, Jakarta and Riyadh. Now I do all that in Lichfield while placating two Indonesian streetcats.

My novel 'Do Not Keep Silent' is available on Amazon.

Mae Yang is a firebrand protest leader in Hong Kong. She’ll sacrifice anything for her beliefs. But days before her protest begins, she meets an English tourist looking for a cause. The two are drawn together, even when the protest turns deadly. #thrillerbooks #booksky #books #HK

Someone has pre-ordered my novella Change of Lifestyle on Amazon! It’s a nice feeling, but also a little bit anxiety-inducing!

Set in London and Jakarta, Change of Lifestyle is a perfect antidote to the cold, dark autumnal nights. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FSYNLBH...

Life in Shadows is a #KindleUnlimited short story about two writers and the beautiful woman who connects them.

Set in #Thailand, it’s about writing, regret and love.

One questions I was asked on the CC and JT Amateur Hour podcast was "What was your first I'm a writer moment?"

Looking at JT's post on X earlier, I had another one!

We also discussed #cricket, siblings and quicksand!

TikTok currently has a trend which goes “Convincing you to read my book based on the first line.”
This was my effort (but I’m not very trendy!)

I put this prompt into ChatGPT. The result was startlingly accurate (I’m not sharing it, but Jaws was one)!

If I told you my six favorite films are the ones below, what would each one tell you about me and my personality? Then give a 200 and 100 word summary.

💙💙📚 I was going to make a quick video for Do Not Keep Silent. I had a pitch:

“How far would you go for your beliefs? Mae Yang is a Hong Kong protest leader prepared to risk everything…until she falls in love.”

But Bertie was having none of it!

Badass Deadeye Squint!

I think Bertie has the most badass, deadeye squint of any cat I’ve ever known. But if your cat can take him on, let me know!

The photograph shows protesters trying to leave the siege of PolyU in 2019, the opening scene of my novel, ‘Do Not Keep Silent,’ showing the genesis of Mae, the main character, as a protest leader.

I went to Winterbourne House and Gardens in #Birmingham and saw these two typewriters. Does anyone know the red Simplex one works?

Can you imagine #writing with it?
