Order of Alan McDermott Books

Alan McDermott is a British thriller writer best known for creating the Tom Gray series of action-packed novels. Though he'd harbored dreams of becoming a novelist since the early 1990s, life kept getting in the way of his literary ambitions. The turning point came through an unexpected source of inspiration—his daughter. When she requested a bedtime story and McDermott found himself without any fresh material to read to her, he improvised and crafted an original tale on the spot.

This spontaneous storytelling experience reignited his long-dormant passion for writing. McDermott began revisiting his collection of old short stories, dusting off forgotten fragments of imagination. The encouragement he needed came from a work colleague who, after reading one of his pieces, urged him to pursue publication.

McDermott launched his writing career in 2011 with the release of Gray Justice, marking his transformation from aspiring writer to published author. He continues to write from his home in southern England, where he lives with his wife and twin daughters.
