He spent his childhood obsessing over the unexplained mysteries his father investigated, which has been a major inspiration for his writing. He now lives in the rural highlands outside Inverness, where he is able to pursue his favourite pastimes of mountain climbing and swimming in the sea, before returning home to his band of semi-feral cats.
