I was born and raised in Glasgow but spent my student years in Edinburgh. I spent over 30 years as a university lecturer and 25 years as an Open University tutor before I retired to write fiction. I live with my wife in Scotland where corrupt academics, psychopaths, serial killers, mystery, murder, and intrigue exists mostly in my mind.

I write the Lambeth Group series of standalone crime/conspiracy/suspense thrillers. Inspired by the 1970s 'Doomwatch' TV series, they feature undercover investigators Zoe and Gavin who protect the country and the world from the worst nightmares that mankind can imagine.

I enjoy walking in the hills, 60s & 70s music, reading and travel.

Hi CeDany, Nice to meet you here.
Sometimes the book and the film can be chalk and cheese. Personally, I thought the Bourne Identity movie was better than the book. Others might disagree. Ian's Fleming's books are easy to read and the movie producers do a great job translating Fleming's ideas onto the screen. Not all of them are great but there are some excellent ones I've watched over and over again. (less)
