    Adrian Lacamp

    Adrian Lacamp is a retired crime analyst who lives in the south east of Northumberland with his wife, and a few DIY tools. His current hobbies include making firewood out of failed DIY projects, avoiding decorating the home and looking after and sampling single malts.Apart from his fourteen years as a crime analyst for one of the country's foremost police forces, he spent a twenty four years serving in Her Majestys’ Armed Forces, where he saw service in Germany (mostly) the UK, (some) and the Falklands Islands (after the ’Event’).He then became a self taught computer programmer, eventually tutoring, to NVQ level 3, on re-training courses in COBOL and Programme Design, before joining the police as a civilian crime intelligence analyst.He has also worked with several software companies, consulting on both commercial and bespoke software, ranging from crime pattern analysis systems to a story mapping sub-system for an authoring application for fiction writers. (This book was written using that same authoring software, WriteItNow 5).He now spends a lot of his time being very busy, doing as little as possible... (if his wife lets him get away with it!), or building things from old pallets.
