Here are some of the books I have written:

Dreams of Gold – comic romp - how the London 2012 Olympic Games were saved from the bizarre plans of a crazed dictator by a motley crew of international athletes, a minor Welsh poet and an English butler.

Whitebait & Tofu – sexy suspense thriller. Photographer gets caught up in a Japanese conspiracy. Taut as haiku tale of love and sex and death.

Alphabet of Vietnam – thoughtful, complex narrative exploring the consequences of war and the intersecting of love, eroticism and violence.

Wordjazz for Stevie – personal memoir of how my life was transformed by my beautiful but profoundly disabled daughter

King Hui – Peter was a playboy, kungfu fighter, wartime Japanese collaborator, peacetime CIA spy, would-be criminal mastermind and a great deal more. He once owned all the opium in Hong Kong. One day, he sat me down and started to tell me his story.

Chinese Gods – a personal exploration of the folk religion that informs the thinking of over a billion Chinese people

Cancer Recovery Guide - ‘best cancer book 2009′ according to the prestigious Townsend Letter for Doctors

The Cancer Survivor’s Bible – the latest incarnation of the Complete Recovery Guide – Everything that everyone should know about cancer and how to recover from it. If you have cancer this is the book you need to read.

I also have a blog In Praise of Older Books which is mostly about secondhand books but occasionally deviates on to other subjects
