he was, at the age of 29, the youngest member at that time.
While in Parliament, he invested in a corporation and lost
his fortune because of embezzlement. Devastated and
facing financial ruin, he recounted his experiences in his
book, Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less. The success of
this book launched his writing career.
His other works include Kane and Abel, Honor among
Thieves, Shall We Tell the President?, A Quiver Full of
Arrows, The Prodigal Daughter, and The Sins of the Father.
He is also the author of The Clifton Chronicles series. He
writes plays including Beyond Reasonable Doubt and The
Accused. He was sentenced to four years imprisonment
because of perjury and conspiracy to pervert the course of
justice, and was released in July 2003. He published three
volumes of his Prison Diary: Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. In
2014, his title Be Careful What You Wish For made The New
York Times Bestseller List. In 2015 his title Mightier than
the Sword made the same bestsller list.
