After service in the Royal Air Force, John R. McKay worked for seventeen years for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service as a Control Room Watch Manager, before leaving to take up other challenges including writing.
He lives in Wigan, UK, with his wife Dawn, and has two daughters, Jessica and Sophie. He is a keen football fan and open water scuba diver and is currently adding the finishing touches to two more novels, which he hopes to release in the near future.
