What do you want to know? The dodgy looking geezer in the photo is me. I grew up in West London. After leaving college I had many jobs, including, warehouse assistant, comic book lettering artist, driver for emergency doctors and chalet rep in the French Alps. I eventually got into a career as a creative artworker/graphic designer working mainly in the home entertainment and packaging industries. I have an MA in Creative Writing from Birkbeck, University of London. I am the author of two critically acclaimed crime thrillers; my debut, Brothers in Blood, which won the CWA Debut Dagger and was picked by the Times and Guardian as a thriller of the year and Stone Cold Trouble, which was longlisted for the CWA Gold Dagger. I am currently working on the next book in the Zaq & Jags series.

For everything else, I’ve got an alibi. It wasn’t me. I was never there.
