Ian was born at the beginning of the Second World War, in a little village in Essex, England. At the age of eleven, he became infatuated with writing; first were poems, then on becoming an officer in the merchant navy and travelling the world, Ian progressed to writing novels for his own enjoyment. It wasn't until a friend, after reading Ian's first novel Nursery Rhymes, suggested he should get it published. He has since had two others published, They Never Saw It Coming and Vengeance Is Mine.
