I write about the oceans, the natural world, and science in general in an assortment of traditional and contemporary media spanning books, blogs, websites and magazines.

My first book is about seahorses (Poseidon’s Steed, the story of seahorses from myth to reality. Penguin books). I wrote it because I wanted to dig into the strange fascination people have with these little animals – after all, seahorses are just fish.  I wanted to explain how and why male seahorses get pregnant (and no, that doesn’t make them female. Read my book to find out why).

Find out more about Poseidon’s Steed here.

I’m a contributing writer at the Seamonster blog, a daily shindig celebrating the oceans in words, pictures, and videos. Check it out. You might like it.

I also write for National Geographic News, Geographical, and the Guardian.

I even try and get P&O Cruise customers to think about peering over the side of the ship and think about what lives beneath the waves, with a regular feature in their members magazine.

And of course you’ll find me here too. This site is a new blend of my old website and blog (wildoceanblue.co.uk), where I write about things I do, things I think are weird, cool, funny, and awesome, and things I generally want to tell you all about.
