Brown attended King’s Park Secondary school in Glasgow, before graduating from the University of Strathclyde.
Before publishing his novels, he has previously worked with several companies, including e-comsport and Bass Export, and has been the head of marketing at Tennent’s Lager. He then set up Circuit Break, a company specialising in marketing strategy, planning and advice, and is also a director of Worn Out Limited as well as Brain Juice Limited.
