I was a computer journalist from 1983 and have edited a number of popular newsstand magazines, including PC Plus and What Micro. I have had articles covering various aspects of the computer industry published in many other titles, such as the Financial Times and the Computing section of the Guardian newspaper. I published my first book in 2014 and my first novel in 2021.
