Biographie de BILL FLOCKHART
As the creator of the Operation Large Scotch Series I am delighted to have produced four books since I took up writing after I retired from a career mostly in financial services where I was a business development manager. Prior to producing thrillers my only experience of writing was in penning articles for business magazines. I have always been fascinated by good political thrillers and I would list my favoutite authors as John Buchan Alistair McLean, Frederick Forsythe, Wilbur Smith and John Le Carre.
I have modelled my writing style on a mixure of the above using my own life experiences to develope the plots. I am seventy-six years old and have lived in Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, most of my life apart from two and a half years in South Africa. My wife Joyce and I have two sons Campbell and Grant who are both police officers. We enjoy travelling and over the years have visited places as far apart as China, Australia and the United States several times.
Both the boys spent a year at high school in America pursuing their interest in basketball at which they both reached international level representing Scotland. My own sporting obsession was golf and in my youth posessed a one handicap which allowed me to play in national championships although. The sands of time have caught up with my golf and I am delighted that it has been replaced by writing to keep my mind active.
I shall soon be producing my fifth novel later this year which is with the proof readers as i write which I hope everyone will get as much enjoyment from as i have had writing it.
