Welcome to my website. I am a writer, journalist and broadcaster specialising in Iran. I also write travel books and am a health and beauty journalist. I am currently working on a book about Iran to be published by Bloomsbury in 2008. As an Iranian who has grown up largely in the UK but spends part of every year in Iran, I am uniquely placed to commentate on life in the Islamic Republic and as such I am regularly invited to give public talks about modern Iran in the UK and USA. I have co-authored the Lonely Planet Guide to Iran, appeared as a commentator on BBC Radio Four and published several substantial features for UK broadsheets, most of which can be viewed by clicking on the links on the left. Do enjoy browsing my archive and don’t hesitate to contact me if you wish to see any more.
