Niema Ash

Niema Ash was born and brought up in Montreal. 

She was in China when the forbidden kingdom of Tibet was opened to travellers for the first time. Her account of a traditional ‘sky burial’ was published in the Sunday Times, and she was encouraged to write a book about her journey – Touching Tibet – by that paper's editor.

She is also the author of Connecting Dors, the authorised biography of screen star Diana Dors, written in collaboration with the actress’ son Jason Lake.
