The author has had varied experience from Engineering industry to Import/Export, Insurance, teaching, managing his companies, along with years of experience in senior management in several companies in UK, India and USA; and, finally, as Practice Manager in GP surgeries. After retirement, he worked for his wife's company as Company Secretary, Accountant and as an all 'odd jobs' person.
Writing the first book, General Practice Management took about 3 years before it was published in 2014. It was about Admin Management in GP practices.
A review of the book reads as follows: I read with great interest, as I am also a physician in rural practice, in USA. The author in his (presumably a male) first book, as internet search failed to reveal other publications, goes into great detail with the actual establishment and running of the practice. I liked how he has established a good plot and fleshed it out with well-described characters and events. I could not put it down until the end. Overall a satisfying read.
The second book, Orphan Dreams, was a romance novel set in UK. Written under the penname Lavreya, it was published in 2018. A review of the book reads as follows: Beautifully written and easy to enjoy. Couldn’t put the book down. Looking forward to the author’s upcoming work.
