I was a doctor but always had a desire to write, and over the last few years I have turned that desire into a reality. I am equally happy writing fiction or non-fiction, as it is the act of creation that motivates me. The blank page/screen doesn’t feel like a challenge but an opportunity.
Since becoming a full-time writer, I have published a non-fiction book about climate change and eye disease and a more mainstream book about climate change and human health. A great passion of mine is walking (I recommend this to all authors, as it often helps solve a lot of problems, Ó Charles Dickens), and I have written a book about walking and exercise which will be published later in 2026. I also have a dystopian novel that is scheduled to be published later next year.
My first book with Blossom Spring Publishing is called “Anti Rejection”, and the idea came to me when I was listening to a lecture about organ transplantation. So, though the story is entirely imaginary, I can vouch for the veracity of the medical information. Write about what you know has become somewhat of a cliché, but I think it is the most natural way of writing. We all – consciously or subconsciously – gather material through our working lives, and it is cathartic to convert these thoughts and memories into words.
