In 2008 I released my first novel, The Bear in a Safari Hat. The sequel, A Bear's Adventure Tale, followed in September 2009.
The lead character, Brosnan, is a young bear who wears a red bodywarmer and a maroon tie. He goes on missions, accompanied by a faithful companion bee called Chiwi, to protect the honey supply.
At work, I also lecture in sociology, media studies and business management topics.
I provide analysis and commentary on issues relating to the music industry and, previously, I was Senior Lecturer in Music Industry Management at Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College in High Wycombe, England.
I was an Editor at Music Business Journal for 4 years and provided music industry analysis to organisations such as the BBC, Sky News and E! Entertainment of Los Angeles, USA.
Other publications include article contributions to the 2007 and 2008 Musicians' and Songwriters' Yearbook, published by A&C Black of London, a Bloomsbury company. I was Contributing Editor on the 2008 edition.
