I was born in Edinburgh, Scotland and grew up in the Far East, first in Hong Kong and then in Singapore.

After a successful career in media technology, I completed master's degrees in Creative Writing, first at the University of Edinburgh, and then at the University of East Anglia, where I received a distinction for my debut novel Waking the Tiger. I particularly enjoy exploring the elements of history that lay at the margins, where the recorded facts have either faded or been hidden.

I am delighted that Waking the Tiger has been longlisted for the McIlvanney Prize for Scottish Crime Book of the Year 2021 and shortlisted for the Bloody Scotland Scottish Crime Debut of the Year 2021.

Henry David Thoreau
“You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.”
Henry David Thoreau

Albert Camus
“She was wearing a pair of my pajamas with the sleeves rolled up. When she laughed I wanted her again. A minute later she asked me if I loved her. I told her it didn't mean anything but that I didn't think so. She looked sad. But as we were fixing lunch, and for no apparent reason, she laughed in such a way that I kissed her.”
Albert Camus, The Stranger
