In Latvia gathering stories for 'Blood in the Forest'
I've been a journalist for thirty years, starting in local newspapers then spending ten years in BBC news working first in Manchester, then launching Five Live, then moving on to the BBC World Service and World Service TV.
After that I worked in music radio for 17 years, winning many awards reviving the BBC Radio Ballads and crossing America, Asia, Africa and Europe making documentaries for the BBC World Service, 5-Live, Radio 4 and Radio 2.
I do media consultancy work as a specialist trainer at Cambridge University helping researchers develop and improve their media skills, and I edit academic texts for sociologists in Latvia.
My first book 'Fire and Ice' tells the story of the scorched earth destruction of Norway by the Nazis. It's published by The History Press and came out in October 2014.
