Everything you need to know, although not necessarily what you'd like to know...
I'm a Scottish-born, Norwich-based, writer. I've lived in Norfolk for several years, and have also resided in Glasgow, Aberdeen, Vancouver, Seattle, and (not to be mentioned to much in my home county), Ipswich in Suffolk.
My background includes English, Irish, Eastern European, Jewish, and, according to Ancestry DNA, Welsh. In addition to my novels, I've written several award-winning short Stories, articles for technology and music magazines, and also a play. Some of these were written using my alter ego, Iain Andrews.
Latest Update
I recently returned to Old Library Wood, the scene of the murder at the start of Rosary Road.
This time it wasn't for research, but to leave copies of the novel in the library established by the Old Library Wood Collective. The Collective have done a fantastic job in transforming the space from the neglected wasteland to a place of magic.
Please get in touch, although bots, trolls, and state agents should not bother.
