Chris Brookmyre Author

It's over 25 years since multi-award-winning Sunday Times bestseller Chris Brookmyre’s first book, Quite Ugly One Morning, was published. Since then, he has established himself as one of the most popular crime writers in the UK. His enthusiasm for hurling himself into ex-curricular activities such as the Scotland v England Writers football, the Caledonian Challenge, Channel 5 Egg Heads, the Fun Lovin’ Crime Writers (including appearances at Glastonbury), BBC Question Time and a live celebrity Mastermind with Clive Myrie (specialist subject Buffy the Vampire Slayer) is well known and means he has more to talk about than most. In a previous life Chris worked for Screen International which involved frequent trips to Los Angeles. A TV adaptation of The Cut, which also centres on the film industry, is in development with production company Highland Midge and Chris and his wife Marisa are currently writing the scripts. It was also recently longlisted for the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year.
