I'm a versatile writer, journalist and broadcaster, currently researching and writing my first historical non-fiction book. (More details on the book coming soon.)I'm also a regular contributor to Monocle 24 radio on UK and European politics, a political commentator on Times Radio and make podcasts for a variety of corporate and non-profit clients.As an experienced broadcaster and podcaster, with a background at BBC News as a radio and TV journalist, I covered politics at Westminster and international news in Berlin and Brussels. I was a familiar voice on Radio 4, reporting on domestic news, business and the arts for The World At One and PM.I am an award-winning novelist, author of two political thrillers published by John Murray. ACTS OF OMISSION, my debut, won the Paddy Power Political Fiction Book of the Year at the Political Book Awards in 2015. The Guardian described me as 'a skilful prose stylist and a connoisseur of telling details.' My second novel, CONFLICTS OF INTEREST, is a novel of personal betrayal and political double-dealing, set in the worlds of politics, PR and journalism.
