I write both nonfiction and fiction, including essays, poems, and short stories. I have published 2 eBooks: a short memoir, 'Right to the End', which tells of growing up with highly politically active parents, and 'Corresponding Cats', featuring letters sent in lockdown between a domestic cat and a tiger in a zoo. My fiction often has a comic slant. Much of my writing is social commentary. I am an animal lover and keen photographer, so wildlife excursions and animal welfare regularly feature in my writing too.

It was fascinating to witness, but there were downsides too. My father held very rigid views which he expected everyone to adopt. ‘Right to the End’ is my brief account of what it was like to have highly political parents and how we can, perhaps, all learn to deal better with such entrenched attitudes. I also share my thoughts on...
