Sea of Lies is the culmination of investigations dating back almost thirty years. In 1985 a leading Asia newspaper alleged that my Singapore flat mate was the Singapore CIA Chief of Station. This came as news to both of us. I have questioned appearances versus reality ever since. MH370’s disappearance spurred me to write this first novel. In 2014, I traveled to Burma three times to research Sea of Lies, meeting several characters who appear in fictional form. I crafted the story from these people, public research and my Asia experiences since 1983. My wife, two sons and I live in Singapore. I’m a keen mountain biker, baseball coach and fisherman. I enjoy red wine, dark chocolate and raucous friends around the table.
