As a former firearms officer with the Metropolitan Police, my journey from law enforcement to literature has been nothing short of extraordinary. I spent 12 years in the force, and having been a drummer since I was 8, I continued to play in London and make some great contacts.
       When I left, despite being diagnosed with bipolar disorder and complex trauma, I began drumming and teaching professionally. Alongside both these chapters in my life I had always written and and in 2019 I retired from drumming to work towards this as a career. In 2022, I was published by Cranthorpe Miller. I was genuinely shocked when my debut novel, 'Beneath The Dark' sold over 300 copies in its first two months - numbers not often seen for a first-time author. I followed this with 'Alice Malign' in 2023, which received rave reviews, and a tremendous growth in readers. Again, I was astounded but it was also a wonderful feeling! I finally released 'Whisper A Prayer' at the end of 2024, continuing the story with characters from Beneath The Dark at the request of so many readers who wanted a sequel
