Ron McMillan

Author of seven books, with more on the way.

The latest is My Aim Is True, the sequel to the first Rab Singh crime book, Don't Think Twice. Soon to come is book three in the Bangkok series outlined below.

Prior to that came a standalone title, Still Blue, which tells the tale of a young blues musician in Bangkok who chases his late dad's dream to play the blues abroad. His backpacker girlfriend assures him that her rich daddy will fund a blues bar in Glasgow, Scotland, but almost as soon as he gets there, things start to go wrong; within days he is considering the shame involved in returning to Bangkok when he learns that one of his dad's heroes, Tyler Gray, is to play a small festival in the remote Shetland Islands. The choice is simple: take the walk of shame home to Thailand, or chase his dad's dream to play with guys like Tyler. What he can't know is there might be something else to discover in faraway Shetland. Happiness.

Don't Think Twice is the first in a crime series set in Scotland in the 1990s. Its central character is Detective Sergeant Rabinder (Call me Rab) Singh, the only Sikh in the Scottish police force.

Prior to that came Bangkok Belle, the second in the Mason & Dixie crime thriller series. Available as a Kindle download or as a paperback.

The first in the Bangkok series, Bangkok Cowboy, is a crime thriller set in Thailand that introduced two new central characters - Mason & Dixie, private eyes working in one of the most fascinating capitals in the world. Reviews have been excellent, and Bangkok Cowboy has been downloaded more than 6,000 times. Available as a Kindle download or as a paperback.

Another crime thriller, set in South Korea, is Yin Yang Tattoo. Well received by the critics, it was in print for Sandstone Press for eight years. It is now available as a Kindle download and as a paperback from Amazon.

BETWEEN WEATHERS, Travels in 21st Century Shetland, is published by Sandstone Press. Nominated shortly after publication for the prestigious Saltire Society Awards, the first Shetland travel narrative since Victorian times remained in print for fifteen years. It is now available as a Kindle download and as a paperback from Amazon.

A writer and photographer based for many years in Asia, I worked from a Hongkong base between 1988 and 1998, visiting most parts of the region on multiple occasions, on photo assignments for magazines in the USA and Europe including Time, Newsweek, Businessweek, Fortune and L'Express.

I now spend a large part of the year in Thailand.
