I'm a professional writer with 20 published novels, ranging from science fiction and fantasy like Doctor Who to crime and horror. An award-winning screenwriter, my broadcast credits include TV dramas and radio plays for the BBC. I've written thousands of pages of published comics.

I lead the creative writing programme at Edinburgh Napier University, and I've run writing workshops across Scotland, England and Norway.
