I’m a writer.
I’ve had a number of non-fiction works published, primarily in the fields of engineering, logistics and planning. I’ve enjoyed quite a few years in research, and have a PhD on the subject of dealing with uncertainty in strategic planning.
My focus is now on fiction writing, where I strive to combine a good story with thought-provoking issues— plus a little humour to lighten the mix.
