As a musician I have always been interested in writing – especially lyrical poetry. As a business consultant and coach I had written many articles, reports and workbooks – nevertheless, prior to 2014 I had never attempted the singular feat of writing a book.
However, in 2014, I was commissioned by Routledge Focus to co-write with Garet Newell ‘The Feldenkrais Method for Executive Coaches, Managers, and Business Leaders. Whilst I was working on this book I commenced on the first novel of The Insidious Vine series and writing became a major focus in my life. It has remained so ever since.
In addition to my own ongoing work as an author I undertake a variety of project for other aspiring authors – editing their work, formatting into a publishable format, and occasionally arranging publication through my own imprint – SomaHolis Publications.

The Insidious Vine is the first novel from the Insidious Trilogy. If you like your reading matter to be dystopian and to leave you with questions this is the book to do it. The book explores perspectives of truth through the tales of ordinary people – like you and me. A wyrd tapestry of normality where one person is intrinsically linked with another to reveal an underlying fable of reality. Disturbing yet oddly humorous.
