Arlo is a former television cameraman, turned writer. After many years of trundling around the globe filming for broadcast, he took the decision to move into writing, his first real love. Whilst he still takes on the occasional camera assignment, to help pay the bills, he is much more fulfilled when sitting in front of my laptop, in a secluded location, bringing characters to life. When he’s working away, any downtime in hotels is spent writing, if at all possible, in the bar. He is a fan of writers such as AG Riddle (The Origin Mystery series), Michael Connelly (The Drop), Mark Dawson (John Milton series) and Lee Childs (Reacher series).
He grew up in Northern Ireland during the height of 'the troubles'. He spent time in a number of meaningless and pointless jobs, which he claims he did badly, before finding my way into the film and television industry.
In later life, Arlo moved around the UK, eventually settling in England after marrying an English woman, Jane. He went on to work in television, having a love for storytelling and adventure. He became a camera operator, learning the art of visual storytelling and editing. But he wanted more, to create scenes and characters, to develop worlds and implant ideas into people's heads. So, he turned his hand to writing. He gained a degree in creative writing from the Open University later in life and he is still learning, with each passage he writes. Arlo is always keen to communicate with readers and fellow authors, whether as beta readers, authors or customers, so please get in touch.
