As Richard Parker he has been a professional TV writer for twenty-two years and started by submitting material to the BBC.  After contributing to a wide variety of TV shows he became a head writer, script editor then producer.  

   

At thirty he decided to subject himself to the easy streets of writing and getting a novel published.

  

A ten year cornucopia of disappointment followed.  But STOP ME was picked up for publication by Allison and Busby in 2009.

 

Since then STOP ME has been nominated for the CWA John Creasey (New Blood) Dagger Award 2010 and has entered four Amazon Top 10 bestseller charts.

 

He has had two short movies shot  - ESTRANGED and SLEEP TIGHT (hitting festivals near you this year).  More importantly, he has just finished penning a brand new thriller for publication.

 

He has now moved from London to Salisbury but in no way hates London.
