The Back Flap
Previous Books
I started out as a writer of business and management books. Some of these books are still in print. They are mainly written for people who need the information for business purposes; they're interesting, but they're not exactly bed-time reading. I've written some of these books, with other people, including my business partner Helen Wylie.
