My Story
In 1999, I was discharged from the police service with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Whilst undergoing treatment, I was encouraged by my counsellor to write about my career and experience of murders, shootings and terrorism.
I was eventually persuaded to give it a go, and one evening, while sat at my computer I started to weave my notes into a work of fiction that had a tremendously cathartic effect on my condition.
I used my detailed knowledge and recollections to create what has been described by many readers as a fast paced, exciting and authentic tale of modern day policing and terrorism.
I am now represented by Broo Doherty of DHH Literary Agents and Emily Haywood-Whitlock at The Artists Partnership.
I am delighted to be included on The Global Writers Forum website. Lots more information about me and my books can be found on my personal website below.
My books are priced between £7.99 and £9.99 in paperback, or £3.49 via an e-book.
