Mark Farrer worked in IT for 30 years... but he's much better now.
His books are multi-stranded storylines involving larger-than-life characters, whose plans and incompetence inevitably exceed their wits. Each involves an itinerant loner called Cullen who lives off the grid in the Scottish Borders and gets accidentally drawn into someone's schemes, only for his own (very personal) sense of right and wrong to be offended. That's generally when things start to go wronger.
His first book, Where Seagulls Dare, involves the machinations of a Russian oligarch to take over the Scottish salmon-farming industry, an ardent US eco-protestor with his own agenda, and a blonde bombshell from Hollywood looking to recharge her career via a stint in Glasgow panto.
The second, A Fistful of Collars, brings together the Church of Scotland, the fashion industry, a textile mill in the Scottish Borders, a professional soccer player with addiction issues, and an IT worker who sees a future as a famous hitman.
The third, The Good The Bad & The Rugby, has Cullen on jury service in the run-up to the Melrose Sevens Rugby tournament. A dead body, a UFO-spotter, a stolen Rugby trophy and a mangy ex-con are all connected and only Cullen can pull all the strands together and ensure justice is done.
Mark has also written three novellas: Dirty Barry, which tells the story of how Cullen and Big Paul first met; Bronchial Billy, which tells of a slum landlord whose wild-west birthday celebrations unwisely provoke Cullen; and Pale Ale Rider, about a teenage thief who unknowingly targets Big Paul's local pub.
