I was training to be a lawyer... I was president of the law society at Glasgow University and my bass guitarist was my secretary of my law society the lead guitarist and writer worked at the law firm that I worked.

'Blind Curve ' the book I'm working on now sprang from a crazy incident that happened to me last year while on my book tour.
