Michael Patterson was born and educated in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. After thirty five years working in Marketing and Senior Management, with Coca-Cola, McDonald's and Esselte, redundancy gave him the opportunity his own on line business, selling lamination machines and consumables, as well as finding time to write crime novels. It also gave him the time to concentrate on his writing. Married with two children, he lives in Frimley Green, Surrey.
