When in doubt, have a man come through the door with a gun in his hand.
- Raymond Chandler
Welcome to the home of spies, private eyes and tough guys.
I’m the author of the Early Warning, The Division and the Chase Investigations series.
If you like an action-packed yarn with international intrigue, a post-disaster tale of survival,
or a private eye caper with humour and a touch of romance, there’s something here for you.
You don’t have to read the books in order, just grab a taster and see what you like. I like to
crossover my characters between books and even series, so the more you read the more you’ll
be surprised.

“Very well written with complex, believable police characters, strong tension, fast pace and the true ring of authenticity.”
– PETER JAMES ~ Best selling author of the Roy Grace series

Quick Bio
I'm a former Police detective, current private investigator, a writer, and a fan of crime fiction.
I grew up watching the TV private eye and cop shows of the 80's, rocking to the music of the 80's and reading classic crime and action stories-some of these were written in the 80's. Did I mention the 80's rocked?
I write across various genres - crime, action thrillers, espionage and middle grade mysteries. My non-fiction book Cop It Write: The Crime Writer's Handbook is a never-seen-before look behind the scenes of detective and PI work which helps scribes give their writing some authenticity.
I write as much as I can, but not nearly enough; time is never a friend for part-time authors.
If you're looking for a literary genius, you've come to the wrong place buddy. But if you're looking for an entertaining time, then hell, come on in...
