Adam Tangent (Simon Pickering)

Gaza On My Mind is Adam Tangent’s fourth book. (Adam Tangent is Simon Pickering’s pen name.) He began writing as a form of therapy, on the train home from his job as a school teacher - an antidote to difficult teenagers and pointless government initiatives. These are both explored in Ambassadors and Zombies – A Teacher’s Guide to Schools and Teaching. He has also published Those Who Can’t – A Teacher’s Gap Years, based on his two years pretending to be a university lecturer in post-communist Poland at the start of the 1990s. Gaza On My Mind was published at the end of February 2020, shortly after his third book, which was about cricket.
Simon Pickering/Adam Tangent lives in Hertford with his wife and two children.
