Jamie is a CWA Dagger shortlisted author who has a twenty years career in the theatre in London’s West End and has worked on far too many plays and musicals to mention here!

Jamie’s writing is inspired by a love of theatre history and murder mysteries. He has appeared at a number of literary festivals and podcasts to talk about writing and his criminal inspirations behind his books.

His Bertie Carroll series sets golden-age style crime in the world of 1930s theatreland and the second book in the series was shortlisted for the CWA Whodunnit Dagger.
