I was a police officer for 15 years, starting in London and finishing as a Detective Inspector at Moss Side in Manchester. I now wear three hats of writer, smallholder, and speaker.
My debut novel The Trail was published in 2020, and the sequel Cold Dawn in 2022. Both were longlisted for the Boardman Tasker award. Cold Summer concludes the Nepal Trilogy. Base Line is the fourth book in the DCI Castle series.
I live on a smallholding in the Peak District, which includes bees and an orchard. I'm a keen mountaineer.
