ABOUT THE AUTHOR

​

I was born in 1979 and live in Kent with my wife and children. I ran a private investigation agency for over fifteen years, dealing in cases that involved breach of contract claims, commercial debt recovery, and process serving. My agency also specialised in people tracing, so much of my work revolved around tracking down debtors, dealing in adoption matters and locating missing persons. At times, I worked on some pretty bizarre cases and dealt with plenty of interesting and sometimes colourful individuals. 

​

I’ve had a huge passion for screenwriting for many years and started writing novels during the first lockdown. My first novel, The Tests, published on Amazon in 2021, was based on a spec screenplay that I originally wrote back in 2009. The Tests was then republished with Inkubator Books in 2022 under the new title—The Wrong Girl.

​

I have since started writing a new series set in the South of England and the Netherlands (The Bartell crime thriller series) the first of which, The Feud on Dead Lane, is available on the Amazon store, Audible and Kindle Unlimited. The second book in the series will be out in autumn 2023.

​

My next standalone release with Inkubator Books is a psychological thriller called—The Visit, set in the seaside town of Whitstable. (out in May 2023) I am also working on a Sussex-based crime thriller called Trapped.
