Keen to know more? You can find out all about my novels here.
My historical mountain fiction is fuelled by a deep love of the outdoors. I have the Scouts to thank for sparking an early interest, but as a teenager I discovered backpacking, which led naturally to mountaineering and climbing. Many of the blog posts on this site are devoted to the wild places of Britain and Europe. You may also recognise me from my early work at Glencoe Mountaineer (now run by my brother James). In addition to blog content, I have written non-fiction articles for various publications over the years, mainly on the subject of the outdoors.

Sidetracked
In 2015 I joined the Sidetracked team as sub-editor. Sidetracked is a tri-annual adventure travel magazine.
Science fiction
In 2014 I began writing science fiction under the pen name A. S. Sinclair. My first short story, Cold Witness, was published in February 2015 as part of the No Way Home anthology. I was also responsible for editing the project.
Book reviews on this site
I review every book that I read, but I also seek out new outdoor books from authors and publishers and try to review them before they hit the shelves. My reviews are posted here. Read my review policy here. If you would like to send me a new book to review, please contact me.
