As well as writing, he runs an import/export business. His hobbies (when he has time for them) include reading, golf, tennis, snowboarding and karate. His weekends belong to his family (or so his wife tells him), as does his heart.

The Fever (2014)
Megan Abbott
"Few writers evoke the politics and paranoias of young adulthood as masterfully as Megan Abbott. She tells her tale with deftness and precision, and it grips from beginning to end. A fabulous achievement."
The First Lie (2019)
A J Park
"What a fantastic read it was! It's a superbly gripping and brilliantly twisty tale."
The Catch (2020)
T M Logan
"Taut, tense and compelling. T.M. Logan's talent is in creating characters with whom the reader instantly relates, and then thrusting them into situations that reflect our deepest fears. Thriller writing at its finest."
