Colin Falconer

I have been a writer all my life. It’s all I ever wanted to do, except for a brief dream of being a pro footballer. I started out in advertising as a copywriter, then worked as a journalist, a magazine columnist and a script writer for radio and television before becoming a full-time novelist.

I love adventure and travel and that has shaped the kind of books I write. Early in my career I developed a passion for Wilbur Smith novels. I also love Cornwell and Follett. When I publish a book, I’m hoping to share it with other readers like me, who crave adventure, and stories with action and twists, but also love something else – exotic locations, long ago times and unforgettable characters. The kind of stories that stay with you long after you fi

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.
