Keith Souter graduated in medicine from the University of Dundee and worked as a family doctor in Wakefield for many years. He writes popular medicine books and a range of non-fiction titles as Dr Keith Souter.

Under his pen-name of Keith Moray he also writes the Inspector Torquil McKinnon crime series, set on the island of West Uist.

The Gathering Murders, the first in the series was published by Sapere Books on March 1, 2018. This has been followed by Deathly Wind, Murder Solstice, Flotsam & Jetsam, Death in Transit and Deadly Still.

Happily married to Rachel, they lived within arrow-shot of historic Sandal Castle, but moved in 2022 to Stratford-upon-Avon. After winning a 2006 Fish Prize with his short story, A Villain’s Tale, he felt compelled to write historical fiction.

In 2020 The Sandal Castle Medieval Thrillers published by Sapere Books began with The Pardoner’s Crime, and The Fool’s Folly. The first novel is set during the time of King Edward 11 and was influenced by the Robin Hood tales and Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. It features Sir Richard Lee, Sergeant-at-Law and his assistant, Hubert of Loxley. The Fool’s Folly moves to 1485, and is set during the Wars of the Roses, during the reign of King Richard 111. In 2021 two more will appear – The Summoner’s Sins and The Franklin’s Felony. They again feature Sir Richard Lee and continue where The Pardoner’s Crime left off.

He is also at work on another historical thriller, Death of a Poet, set in Ptolemaic Egypt, due out in October 2022.

Keith also writes westerns as Clay More and is a past vice president of Western Fictioneers. He is also a member of Western Writers of America, International Thriller Writers and the Medical Journalists’ Association.
