About
I'm a crime writer who works in the criminal justice system.
My book is a fast paced page-turner, based in reality.
I come from a writing background, the most famous writer being my cousin 'Vita Sackville-West'. Vita was a well respected writer and society character. She also had a long and public 'liaison' with Virginia Wolf.
My father, 'David Newman' is the author of 'The Forgotten Path', the true story of his crossing of the Sahara Desert in a car! He was also the film producer who produced Judi Dench's first film, 'He Who Rides A Tiger'
I have two grown up children, Mark and Gemma, and two grown up foster children, Charley and Jonathan.
Off topic, but for those of you interested in politics, my great grandfather, Sir Gerald Strickland, was, among other things, the Prime Minister of Malta.
I continue to work, based in a Magistrate's Court as a Probation Court Duty Officer.
