About the author

Ian was born in Essex in England, and at the age of 11 became abscessed with writing; it began with poems, then stories - mostly written for his own enjoyment. It wasn't until he emigrated, with his family, to Australia that a chance meeting with a friend, who suggested that he should think of publishing one of his stories; the first being, Nursery Rhymes, and then They Never Saw It Coming, a sequel. He has now followed it with Vengeance Is Mine, a follow on from his two previous novels. His latest book Titania's Treasure is awaiting publication.
