Ian says:

I write about things that have puzzled, surprised, and overwhelmed me!

As a kid, and latterly a dad and police officer I realised that have an almost endless list of things I want to make sense of. I suspect I am not alone.

Hopefully as a law graduate and post-graduate criminologist my life observations reflect a degree of authenticity and balance – but I’ll allow you to judge that for yourself!

Synthesising humour, grief, horror & hedonism, I think I’m an all-rounder!

Completing the rest of my life I am a frustrated speedway promoter, passionate Notts County fan and part-time philosopher.

In 1975, when I was 12, my dad, a former speedway track raker at Long Eaton, took the opportunity during a school half-term holiday to introduce me to speedway at Sandy Lane, Oxford and I’ve been hooked ever since!
