Getting the first Newsletter of the year ready so look out for a message

Welcome to my Author site.

I have started to put together the first part of the book on Puccini's opera Madama Butterfly, with lots of visits to singers and opera companies. Although there were some restrictions on how much I could travel for live performances last year, I was able to watch lots of streamed versions so there will still be plenty of Reviews to add to the website.

Thanks to Non-Fiction Author's Association for sharing my blog on Writing Travel Reviews! Here's the link to read the blog and see what the NFAA can do for authors. See article

I am also excited to be able to start on the new book for Taylor & Francis about fatalities in the workplace, particularly related to age and/or gender.

So, looking for books on travel, business risks, or arty things? Find them all here.

Why an author website?

Hi everyone. The site is intended to show you the writing projects I have been working on for years, and hopefully to give you inspiration if you are just starting out as a writer.

I have been writing non-fiction books since 2000, the first ones based on my PhD studies about Health & Safety/ Risk Management in small businesses. Yes, I know, it sounds very dull but it is basically about people and what they do in the workplace.

I love to write reviews -Travel, where to stay, what to see in the theatre, are all my favourite topics. Add all the other art and craft things I love, you can see why the books cover such a variety of topics.
