My first novel, a psychological thriller called ‘Sandman’, was published in 2010. It was set in and around Christchurch, Dorset, in the UK, the area where I live. I like to create a strong sense of place, which is why virtually all my fictional settings are in places I know.I then published an eBook called ‘Reality Check: Science Meets Religion’. It came about because having been interested in both science and philosophy, I was bothered about how it seemed most people had to compartmentalise their religion if it seemed at odds with their knowledge of science. At the time I doubted the existence of God, and I wanted to use my research skills to see whether there was a valid logical argument to believe in a God. After years of research, I came to a position where I felt I could show science and religion to be complementary and compatible: merely two different sides of the same ‘coin of creation’. So this book provides the evidence and my effort at logical proof. Next came my second novel ‘Flying a Kite’, published in 2013. This is principally set in Bath, England, but there are also elements in Italy, California and Tenerife. It was inspired by the same ideas as ‘Reality Check’, but put into an easy-to-read story. While this might have religious undertones, at the upper level it is contemporary fiction in its own right, and it has as many twists and turns as a thriller.My third novel, ‘The Grave Concerns of Jennifer Lloyd’, published in 2016, is a mystery thriller, but is also akin to contemporary fiction because of its character depth. It is again set in the Christchurch and Bournemouth areas, which I know so well. I am on Twitter as @authorkingsley, so please join me there for daily tweets.

She figures exposing a murderer live on-camera is the way to do it and she's willing to take risks. But will her recently acquired self-defence skills be...

As most fiction writers know, characters don't typically spring from an author's pen to page as full-blown concepts: they evolve, like a sculpture from a piece of clay, as the story moves on. This wasn't the case, however, for author Ian Kingsley as he wrote The Grave Concerns of Jennifer Lloyd. His...
