The author was also named as one of Waterstones’ ‘New Voices’ for 2010. His second novel, Ugly Bus, is currently in development for a six part television series with the BBC.

His new novel (the first in the MacReady series), ‘Ash and Bones’, was released August 2016 by Bonnier Zaffre. ‘Splinter’, the second in the series, is ready for release in 2017.

He lives in the wilds of Portugal with his wife, two children and an unstable, futon-eating dog.
