About Me

nmj: Scotland, United Kingdom; My autobiographical novel The State of Me was published in 2008 by HarperCollins. Based on my experience of the neuroimmune illness myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), it's my weapon against the ignorance that prevails. I was diagnosed with ME in 1984 by a consultant neurologist after Coxsackie B4 virus. I remain ill today. I've been published in a range of literary magazines and was shortlisted for RLS Award (2005), Bridport Short Story Prize 2011 and Bridport Flash Fiction Prize 2012 & 2023. Links to more published writing below. In slow process of writing novella about my late Pakistani doctor father. Am of mixed heritage.
