Begin where you are. Don’t wait for inspiration to strike — it comes while you write, not before. Be honest, even if it feels small or uncertain. Truth has its own rhythm, and readers recognise it. And above all, remember: your words don’t need to impress; they need to connect.

For me, it’s being allowed to listen — and to observe. To watch people, moments, and the quiet details of life that often go unnoticed. Writing helps me turn those fragments into meaning — giving shape to what the heart already knows but struggles to say.

I’m currently recording the audiobook edition of God Is Not an Information Desk and preparing new music that accompanies some of the stories. I’m also gathering ideas for future reflective pieces born from those same rides through London.

I’m often inspired by ordinary moments that reveal something sacred — a short conversation, a shared silence, or a story told in passing. Writing for me begins when reflection meets gratitude — when I sense that a moment wants to be remembered.

The idea came during my years driving through London — over twenty thousand rides, each one a brief encounter with a stranger. Somewhere along those roads, I began to realise I wasn’t just taking people from place to place. I was being taken on a journey myself — toward the heart. That’s what shaped God Is Not an Information Desk.
