When an injury on duty ended my career as Probation Officer, I began writing. I am the author of the Kate Daniels series published by Pan Macmillan. My debut, The Murder Wall, was written as a TV pilot for a BBC Drama Development Scheme - before the adaption. The novel has recently been nominated for the Polari First Book Prize. Before becoming an author, I fell in love with scriptwriting and submitted speculative original dramas to the BBC Writersroom. Ive also written a romantic comedy feature film that I hope will find a producer one day. In 2010, I won the Northern Writers Award for my second novel, Settled Blood. Im represented by AM Heath literary agent, Oli Munson, and live in Northumberland with my partner, a former murder detective.Read Less
