Ian Hitchings - True Crime Writer & Author.

BIOGRAPHY

Ian Hitchings, is a true crime writer and international author, regular contributor to major newspapers and magazines worldwide.

He's a down-to-earth plan speaking, no airs or graces man, always ready with his quick humour and anecdotes. Who has told the true crime stories of those wildly different experience in such gripping prose that he's had more than one bestseller on his hands, and will probably have others. But you're unlikely to have heard of him.

Step forward Ian Hitchings, Britain's foremost True Crime Writer. Step forward and take a bow! Ladies and gentlemen, behold the writer. If he's blinking a little in the limelight, that's because he's not used to it. Of all the books he's written, his name has appeared on scarcely any of them, because more often than not he uses his numerous pseudonym names.

It's a different world that Ian Hitchings lives in - or rather a multitude of different worlds, a new one every few months or so, all according to the manuscript he is dictating. What he needs to do is empty out all his preconceptions and identify completely with the person sitting opposite him. He's very good at it - fantastically frighteningly good no matter how serious or gruesome the crime they have committed. Perhaps, it's something he's picked up from years of being the man behind his Grundig Dh2220 hand held dictation machine, the blank sheet of paper where all his true crime stories come to life.

Ian lives in his native South Wales Valleys, with his absolutely gorgeous former model wife, who is still like an Indian summer. She's his first reader, his sharpest critic and his greatest support. They have eight children, in each of them he has intense pride for their special qualities.
