Giles Ekins

Biography

I was born in the North East of England and qualified as an Architect in London. Subsequently I spent much of my career living and working in Northern Nigeria, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain working on various projects including schools, housing, hospitals, leisure centres, shopping malls, royal palaces and particularly highly prestigious hotels.

I have now returned to England and live in Sheffield with my wife Patricia. Amongst other books I am the author of ‘Sinistrari’, ‘Gallows Walk’ ‘Murder by Illusion’ and ‘Dead Girl Found’ as well as the children’s book ‘The Adventures of a Travelling Cat.’

Other titles are in progress and will be published shortly.

I like travel, reading, the countryside, sport and for my sins support Newcastle United FC.
