Eight-time bestselling author and ghostwriter

You have the story. Perhaps people have been telling you for years that you should write a book. I’ll help you turn it into one people will want to read.

From extraordinary true stories and landmark injustices to expert-led nonfiction, compelling commercial fiction and meaningful legacy books, I turn powerful ideas, personal experiences and specialist knowledge into books that deserve to be read.

Whether you have a story to tell, expertise to share or an idea for a novel, I bring the writing experience, storytelling instincts and professional perspective needed to bring your book to life.

Client experience

I have worked with doctors, lawyers, scientists, security specialists, senior military officers, Fortune 500 CEOs and senior executives, people with backgrounds in MI5 and MI6, victims of injustice and adversity, and people from every walk of life. Among them is a former Director of Intelligence for U.S. Strategic Command.

Offices in Somerset, London & Los Angeles

I work remotely with clients across all time zones, as well as in person.

Self-publishing guidance

If self-publishing is the right route for your book, I can guide you through the process and work with proven, experienced professionals to help bring it to market.

Your story. Your ideas. Your book.

Every book begins with something worth sharing. The challenge is turning that idea into a compelling manuscript that captures attention, connects with readers, and fulfils its promise.

I work with individuals, professionals, and organisations to develop books built around powerful stories, meaningful experiences, specialist knowledge, and imaginative ideas.

You bring the story, the vision, the expertise. I bring the writing, structure and storytelling craft to help shape it into a book.

Injustice, true crime & legal stories

Some stories need to be told. Some truths need to be heard.

Wrongful convictions, corruption, courtroom battles, investigations and institutional wrongdoing demand more than a recitation of the facts. They require careful storytelling, an understanding of complex legal issues and the ability to keep readers engaged without losing sight of the truth.

As a former U.S. trial lawyer, I bring first-hand professional insight to stories involving the legal system, contested truths and the pursuit of justice.

Have a story involving justice, the legal system, or a fight against wrongdoing? Tell me what happened.

Selected works

  • A Disturbing Injustice
  • A Few Bad Men
  • Conflicted

Memoirs, life stories & legacy books

Your life is a story. Let’s make sure it is remembered.

Some experiences deserve to be preserved and shared: a journey through adversity, an extraordinary achievement, a family legacy or a story of survival, recovery, faith or personal transformation.

I bring those experiences to the page with sensitivity and clarity, shaping them into a compelling narrative. Whether you want to preserve your own story, celebrate someone else’s life, inspire others or create a lasting legacy for your family, my goal is to capture what makes the story meaningful.

You do not need to be a professional writer to have a story worth telling.

Selected works

  • I Am Lorraine
  • Doing the Doing
  • Always Forward
  • Destination 9/11
  • The Poor, Hard-up Tailor

Health, wellness & expert-led books

Turn your knowledge into a book people can understand and use.

Professionals often have years of experience, research, and specialist knowledge that could benefit a much wider audience. The challenge is communicating that expertise in a way that is authoritative, accessible, and engaging.

I develop health, wellness, self-help and personal development books that translate complex subjects and professional insights into clear, compelling nonfiction. Whether you want to share your expertise, educate readers, build your professional profile or develop a book around a distinctive approach, the writing must serve both your knowledge and your audience.

Your expertise deserves more than a collection of notes or ideas. Let’s explore the book it could become.

Selected works

  • The Natural Solution to the Diabetes Epidemic
  • The Comfort Code

Novels, thrillers & speculative fiction

Big ideas. Unforgettable characters. Stories that keep readers turning pages.

From legal thrillers and commercial fiction to science fiction and faith-based storytelling, successful fiction combines imagination with structure, pace, strong characters, and a compelling narrative.

I work across a range of fictional genres, from early concepts and developing manuscripts to completed books ready for adaptation. As a screenwriter and film producer, I can also help shape stories for the screen, bringing a practical understanding of how ideas engage audiences and translate across media.

Have an idea for a novel, a developing manuscript, or a story you believe has real potential? Tell me about it.

  • Rise Above
  • Twelve Doors

Why work with me

Author, ghostwriter, screenwriter, former U.S. trial lawyer, producer and agent/manager

I bring together experience in writing, law, film and music production. As an eight-time bestselling author, ghostwriter and screenwriter, I understand how to combine a strong idea with effective storytelling—whether the work is intended for the page or the screen. My former career as a U.S. trial lawyer gives me a professional perspective on complex subjects, legal narratives and presenting information with clarity, authenticity and dramatic force.

My work in film and music production adds experience from creative industries in which ideas must connect with audiences and stories must hold attention. Together, these experiences support a practical, story-driven approach to developing books and scripts across different genres and subjects.

Whether your project begins with a life story, professional expertise, a difficult truth or an ambitious fictional concept, my job is to help turn the idea at its heart into a compelling book or screenplay. I can also adapt existing books and true stories for film, television, documentaries, docudramas and theatre.

You have something worth saying. Let’s find the best way to say it.

And I can help take it further.

As a literary, music and project agent/manager, I can pitch suitable books for publication, develop and pitch screenplays, and explore a story’s wider potential as a motion picture, documentary, docudrama or theatrical production. That ability to help shape the right project—and then help move it beyond the manuscript or script—is something very few ghostwriters or screenwriters can offer.

What does your book need?

Every project is different. You may have a complete manuscript or screenplay that needs development, a collection of notes, a story that has never been written down or simply an idea you want to explore.

The first step is a conversation about what you want to accomplish. Tell me about your project, your intended audience, and where you are in the process. From there, we can discuss what your project needs and whether we may be a good fit.

You do not need to have everything figured out before getting in touch.

Tell me about your project

Let’s start a conversation.

Have a story to tell, knowledge to share or an idea that deserves to become a book or screenplay? Complete the form and give me a few details about your project. That will help me understand your goals and what you hope to accomplish.
