About the author
Patrick C. Walsh
17 books44 followersBorn in Birmingham too many years ago, like my main character 'Mac' Maguire I came to live in leafy Hertfordshire, ending up in a big village called Letchworth Garden City.
I have the same problems with pain as my main character and so the Mac Maguire detective mysteries were born out of a need to be doing something that wasn't a spread sheet at the weekends. However even I've been surprised at how my main character, Mac Maguire, has taken on a life of his own and I now see myself as being Mac's biographer rather than his inventor.
I've had many professions and started off as a musician. I played guitar professionally for some years before forming my own band and songwriting team. However, in my late thirties I concluded that I was probably not going to be a rock star anytime soon and so became a quality professional in the automotive industry. In trying to place quality systems online I became interested in websites and information architecture and eventually got invited to apply for a job at the BBC where I worked as a business analyst for Radio and Music. I am now retired and writing full-time.

Another great read.
It's surprising how Patrick comes up with his Stories. They are always well thought out and cleverly written. The description of the locations and characters, are so good you can easily imagine them. Altogether a really good book.
