Welcome to my website. I hope that you find something of interest, either in the fiction or non fiction. As you have come this far, I think I should tell you a little about myself. Born and bred in Edinburgh, I have been writing for as long as I can remember, mainly books with a historical background. However, I began to become more serious about the process after I graduated from Dundee University s a mature student in 2001.

 My main theatre of interest lies around the long 19th century, from the beginning of the French Revolutionary Wars until 1914, when the world changed for ever. My Soldier series and the Matthew Pryde series, as well as Whales for the Wizard, come firmly within this period.

In saying that, folklore and the fringe area between reality and perception also fascinates me. I have written about nautical and natural folkore, while the fictitious Mother Law combines both history and the supernatural. I have plans for another along the same lines.

If anybody has any questions, queries or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me!

Very best regards

Malcolm
