Welcome to my website.
I am a writer and academic psychologist. My latest book, The Baby in the Mirror, is available in paperback, and is published in the US as A Thousand Days of Wonder. I work at Durham University, where I am a part-time Reader in Psychology.
Here you will find information about my fiction and non-fiction writing, journalism, creative writing teaching and other projects.
