Glyn Timmins was born in the town of West Bromwich, near Birmingham, in the UK in 1961. After leaving school at 16 Glyn worked as an investigative auditor for local councils and developed a taste for undertaking probing enquiries. He took these skills into the Police Service in 1985 serving in four Midlands Police Services over his career, spending many of those years in Criminal Investigation, eventually leading homicide and kidnap investigations as well as other serious and major crime. Glyn has always maintained an interest in writing since his early scribblings at school, where he wrote plays, books and comics, however, a busy career and the general business of life pushed his literary… ambitions to one side - at least for a while. Now retired from the police Glyn writes full time, relishing the chance to tell and share the stories he bases on his years of experience of dealing with people from all walks of life, and from a wide range of his diverse experiences.In his police career Glyn became a trained and experienced Senior Investigating Officer for homicide and kidnap and a hostage negotiator, as well as working in a range of other capacities including roads policing, firearms and public order. Glyn found the energy to study for two University degrees in his spare time, and to learn to play the drums. He loves music and has idolised The Beatles since he was old enough to put a needle to vinyl. He follows his hometown football club, West Bromwich Albion, though he left the town on his travels many years ago. Glyn likes to keep fit and enjoys some sports as a participant, particularly football and racquet sports, though middle-age and opportunity are limiting factors these days.Glyn has two grown up daughters and currently lives in the Heart of England where he happily taps away at his computer keyboard entertaining himself and hopefully the people who are kind enough to read his books.
