About the author
Born in 1960, he began writing seriously in 2008 after joining a local writers' group. After a short story was published, he created detective D.I. Ray Keane, a character who went on to anchor his crime novels.
His books are closely linked with Norfolk, where he lives with his wife, Jan, and their two poodles. That local setting gives his fiction a grounded, everyday feel, even when the cases turn dangerous.
His writing career has included self-publishing early work before later releases such as Time for Revenge and Straw, Blood and Bones. Across the series, he has returned to Ray Keane again and again, suggesting a clear affection for the character and plenty more mysteries to explore.
