James Oswald
Also known as
Oswald, JamesOsvalds, DžeimssOswald, J.D.James Oswald British writer
James Oswald is the author of the Sunday Times bestselling Inspector McLean series of detective mysteries. The first two of these, ***Natural Causes*** and ***The Book of Souls*** were both short-listed for the prestigious CWA Debut Dagger Award. Set in an Edinburgh not so different to the one we all know, Detective Inspector Tony McLean is the unlucky policeman who can see beneath the surface of ordinary criminal life to the dark, menacing evil that lurks beneath.
James has also introduced the world to Detective Constable Constance 'Con' Fairchild, whose first outing was in the acclaimed ***No Time To Cry***.
As J D Oswald, James has written a classic fantasy series, **The Ballad of Sir Benfro**. Inspired by the language and folklore of Wales, it follows the adventures of a young dragon, Sir Benfro, in a land where his kind have been hunted near to extinction by men.
James has pursued a varied career - from Wine Merchant to International Carriage Driving Course Builder via Call Centre Operative and professional Sheep Shit Sampler (true). He moved out of the caravan when Storm Gertrude blew the Dutch barn down on top of it, and now lives in a proper house with two dogs, two cats and a long-suffering partner. He farms Highland cows by day, writes disturbing fiction by night.
