Stuck in a limbo and desperate to do something meaningful, what to do? That is where writing began for me. A creative way of expressing myself and a chance to harness my wondering imagination.

In short, there is a lot of ignorance in my country about the Baltic States. Even after 22 years of independence, EU and NATO membership, cheap flights for stag and […]
It’s been a busy week or so, promoting the novel ‘Forest Brothers’. I have needed to think hard about how to market. I have a minor experience from the traumatic time I spent as a Bank manager (!), but it is an interesting eye-opener to the publishing world how you have to at least help […]
