Mark Wightman

I was born in Edinburgh, Scotland and grew up in the Far East, first in Hong Kong and then in Singapore.

After a successful career in media technology, I completed master's degrees in Creative Writing, first at the University of Edinburgh, and then at the University of East Anglia, where I received a distinction for my debut novel Waking the Tiger. I particularly enjoy exploring the elements of history that lay at the margins, where the recorded facts have either faded or been hidden.

I am delighted that Waking the Tiger has been longlisted for the McIlvanney Prize for Scottish Crime Book of the Year 2021 and shortlisted for the Bloody Scotland Scottish Crime Debut of the Year 2021.
