I am the author of Indian Sun: The Life and Music of Ravi Shankar (Faber & Faber/Hachette USA), the first biography of India's maestro of the sitar; and of Rock Faces (Rotovision), a survey of leading music photographers.

Books I have contributed to as editor include Ravi Shankar's Raga Mala (Genesis/Element), The Beatles Anthology (Chronicle), and John Robb’s Punk Rock: An Oral History (Ebury).

For over 25 years I have worked in publishing, editing non-fiction books on music, art, photography, sport or heritage subjects.
