A cross-genre author, he has written mystery thrillers, fantasy epics, horror chillers and science fiction. As a child, Ian was always the kid who had his nose in a book.

Adulthood came and for twelve years Ian was a successful “Textiles CSI”: analysing fibres, yarns and fabric; solving problems on production lines; developing products; and assisting customers across the world.
