My second book, The Wolf and the Raven was released on April 7th, at the London Book Fair where I was part of the Amazon KDP/Createspace/ACX stand. My debut novel, Wolf's Head, was also released the same day as an audiobook.

I was born in 1977, near Glasgow in Scotland. I live in Old Kilpatrick with my wife and two young children. After obtaining my Bachelor of Arts degree I decided to follow my life-long ambition and write a novel.

Historical fiction is my favourite genre, but I also enjoy old science-fiction and some fantasy.

Bernard Cornwell's King Arthur series was my biggest influence in writing "Wolf's Head", and now "The Wolf and the Raven", but I've also recently enjoyed books by guys like Ben Kane, Glyn Iliffe, Douglas Jackson and Daphne du Maurier.

I play lead/acoustic guitars (and occasional bass/vocals) in a heavy metal band when we can find the time to meet up.

In 2021 the Xbox/Playstation/PC game HOOD: Outlaws and Legends was released, featuring my writing. I did the character backstories and the lore for the maps and collectables and it was such a fantastic experience!
