Books

I write about trees, forestry, and the environment.


Forthcoming books for 2026 are The Forest Guide: England and RSPB Trees of the British Isles.


My first and award-winning book, The New Sylva, was published by Bloomsbury in 2014 and reprinted in 2021. I’ve also written two novels, released two short story collections, and a poetry anthology. My short stories have been included in two anthologies.

Tree Photography

I am a part-time professional photographer specialising in tree, forest and landscape photography.


My images have featured in magazines, books, merchandising, and global advertising. I also take photographs for use in my own book projects, such as the Forest Guide series and RSPB Trees of the British Isles.
