Ian Cummins

Born in Kettering, Northamptonshire in the second half of the last century, Ian grew up in Suffolk and Essex before attending Queen Mary College, London University. He now lives in Hartley, Kent, and has a wife, two cats, three children, and five grandchildren. His first book, 'An Accidental Salesman - Stories from 40 years in International IT Sales' - was a humorous look back at his employment with Kalamazoo, Philips, ITT / STC, Ryan McFarland, Specialix, J. River, Network Instruments, JDSU / Viavi and Prosperon, which saw him visit 30 different countries (and over 500 hotels). His second book, and first novel, is 'The Wrong Briefcase', the story of Mark who finds a briefcase containing a large amount of money, what he does with it, and some of the surprising effects this has on both Mark and the losers of the briefcase. 'My Time Again' is a time travel novel in which Graham finds himself transported back to his eighteenth birthday with his memory intact. He eventually discovers why this happened, but not before changes have occurred to his own life and to other events - which were not always as planned. His third novel, 'Social Murderer' tells the story of a deranged killer choosing victims at random from social media – their names linked together to create a puzzle, to be solved for a huge reward.DI Linda Evans is tasked to solve a ‘routine murder’ and finds it is anything but routine.
