Ian was born and educated in New Zealand. He briefly studied accountancy and commercial law before graduating into agriculture. He started dabbling in writing three years ago more out of curiosity to see if he could actually write a novel. Vendetta was his first published novel. It is a historical novel tracing a young man's struggle to learn the truth behind a series of catastrophic events which have destroyed his family.
Target Prendergast uncovered quickly followed. Brad is a beach bum, the world's most unlikely undercover agent.
Conspiracy and Broken Wings have since followed. Check website for free chapters and more information on author and novels in the pipeline.
