I have been publishing since 2002 when I started with technical papers on digital image and video processing. Since then I have written articles for local and national magazines, history guides for local town councils, training materials for businesses, and more. Many of these, the history and Heartstart materials, have also resulted in radio interviews with a number of local and national radio stations. Below is a list of many of some of my publications.

I have written numerous articles on computing, local history covering Thatcham and Newbury as well as first aid for local magazines. Articles have appeared in the Thatcham Town Guide, Thatcham Connections, Buzz Magazine and Out & About along with national websites (see Thatcham – the oldest in Britain? on the BBC). In addition I was also editor for the “Journal of Thatcham Historical Society.”
