More About the Author

I'm a foreign correspondent and the author of best-selling international thrillers. In The History Book, I've used interviews with hundreds of people in dozens of different of countries to draw a credible picture of a scary near-future world and I've created within it Kat Polinski, a bright, vulnerable, unsettled heroine. The first reviews rave about the concept and describe Kat as fabulous, the type of heroine we love to root for. The issues are total government surveillance, contracted out to private companies who control energy supplies for their own gain. True or false? The realistic backdrops match my Dragon trilogy of future global wars and the three stand alone thrillers, mostly set in Asia. But with Kat, I've tried something more ambitious, so please let me know if you think it works.

I live in London and travel crazily. Most recently, I've reported from (in alphabetical order) Brazil, Cyprus, India, Iraq, Israel, Kosovo, Sweden and all over the US.
