Born in Scotland, living in Canada and writing American fiction, I like to cover all the bases. My debut novel, SWITCH, will be published on July 2, 2009.
My short stories have been featured in Out of the Gutter and Spinetinglermagazines and my first screenplay won a fellowship at the Praxis Centre for Screenwriting in Vancouver, B.C.
As a journalist, I have worked in virtually every area of the newspaper business from the late-night “Dead Body Beat” at a feisty daily tabloid to senior copy/design editor at two of Canada’s largest broadsheets. In between regular newspaper gigs, I have also contributed technology/humour columns to various magazines around the world. I currently reside on British Columbia’s beautiful Sunshine Coast with my wife and daughter.
