Chris McNaught is a Canadian author, former criminal barrister, university lecturer, freelance journalist and artist. A lifetime of competitive swimming and water polo has helped keep his body and general wrath in reasonable proportion. Much travel and an ingrained love of story-telling - thanks to an anglophile mother - have charged his pen. The Linnet is his third novel, once again sparked by personal experience. His next will be a mystery, 'Dun Phris', set on Scotland's southwest coast. www.chrismcnaught.com
