Unable to stick general practice, psychiatry or even being a physician, he took up a senior post in Public Health - which mostly involved drain sniffing. He was brought back to sanity with an MA in creative writing at the Anglia Ruskin University. Inspired whilst living in Devon, Mellanby is writing the Tregarthur's Series, following his characters through the worst of possible and impossible times.
