Ian was born in the north of England ("oop north", as it's known), where he worked for three hectic decades as an operational firefighter with West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue.
He lives in the wonderful, historic city of York where he writes humorous detective mysteries chronicling the exploits of eccentric private investigator Bernie Quist. A modern day Sherlock Holmes, Quist operates from Baker Avenue in York. His deductive methods are similar to the celebrated sleuth and his assistant is named Watson, although this Watson is a youth from the notorious Grimpen housing estate and he's definitely no doctor. The mismatched duo take on bizarre cases which invariably lead into the realms of the supernatural, a shadowy world which, thanks to his dark secret, the mysterious Quist is only too familiar with.
Ian travels regularly, usually through Asia and the Americas. His interests include walking the North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales, natural history with an emphasis on birds, real ale, and ridding the world of all known evils.
He also feels decidedly peculiar speaking in the third person and may have to do this in the future using a sinister ventriloquist's doll.
