The doctor who writes science fiction at 5am before work

British author Tade Thompson grew up in Nigeria and has taken the publishing world by storm with his science fiction, fantasy and crime thriller novels.

This despite his full time job as a psychiatrist in an NHS hospital in the South of England. The secret to his success is rising early every morning to write before leaving for work.

Dr Tade Thompson told Newsday's Alan Kasujja how he has managed to juggle the two demanding careers.
