My love for thrillers started at a very early age...and has only grown! I now enjoy writing novels just as much as I've enjoyed reading them over the last 30 years. The more complicated the plot the better and it has to have a good twist at the end. Dan Brown's 'The Lost Symbol' is 'my cup of tea' in that it has great characters, multiple plot threads and a great twist! Not only that, it encouraged me to think about the topics covered, and more importantly do my own research. Something I hope to achieve with my writing. A subject close to my heart is poverty and oppression in Africa, and I firmly believe that education is the key to breaking the cycle. Part of the proceeds from book sales will be used to back sustainable projects in remote areas – building schoolrooms, connecting permanent water supplies and installing sanitation.
