About Me:
I was born at an early age and led a sheltered childhood in a small English village. A crime fiction fan from a young age, I wanted to be one of Enid Blyton's Famous Five and fight crime with the aid of only a basket of cucumber sandwiches and a bottle of ginger beer. I spent my spare time following mysterious strangers around the village - especially those with cockney accents and a couple of days' growth of stubble - until a complaint from the new local vicar put a stop to my sleuthing career. I then decided I wanted to be Nancy Drew - I coveted her cool friends, her dashing boyfriend, her understanding father and her lovely car. Sadly, after re-reading one recently I discovered that either Nancy or I had changed - she was a pompous prig, her friends were whiny and self absorbed, her father was uncaring and her boyfriend was a wet drip. I still liked the car though.

I now live in Glasgow, where I havea thrilling dual career as a mild-mannered pension consultant by day, and an unemployed superhero by night. For relaxation I listen to Dean Martin, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and The Ramones, and enjoy salsa, cha cha cha and merengue - despite having two left feet
