The Pen is Mightier Than the Pencil

I am a journalist, writer and editor. My debut novel Satsuma Sun Mover was published by Lazy G, and long-listed for the Dylan Thomas Prize. My journalistic pennings have been published by the FT, Middle East Institute, New Internationalist, China Post and Daily News Egypt. I write mainly about politics and economic development.

I have distant plans for a new novel, a sci-fi rendering of the Cuban missile crisis, but am waiting for a benefactor.
