- About Me: Big Foot, the pseudonym and long-time nickname of the author. The author, born May 1963, has had a colourful and interesting life. Over Twenty years ago, unwittingly embroiled in of one of the UK’s largest ever VAT frauds on Gold and Platinum. An early introduction to the murky world of organised crime and the even more frightening British Government. The Gold trial had so many defendants, they had to make structural changes at Snaresbrook Crown Court to get all the legal teams in.
Big Foot is fortunate to have lived in and travelled through many places in the last twenty five years. Having spent barely a handful of days in the last eight years in the UK. Those places include Sierra Leone, Senegal, Cape Town, Moscow, Mauritania, Monaco, Lugano, Puerto Banus, Miami, Paris, Brussels, Gibraltar, Edinburgh, Majorca, Sydney, Wellington, Auckland, Villars-sur-Ollon, Tokyo, Shanghai and in no particular order.
Most of these were not flying visits, but actual periods of habitation. The short stays are too numerous to mention and include India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, South America and most of Eastern Europe. When Big Foot writes, he writes with first-hand knowledge of a place, its people and the culture.
The life of Big Foot has been an interesting and colourful one. Having unfortunately been through numerous trials, tribulations, and various civil battles in the High Courts with HMRC, and more recently Deutsche Bank. And yet, he also formed part of the Chinese Delegation at the Global Climate Summit in Cancun 2010. There are many interesting tales, too numerous to mention here. These and other weird and strange events shaping the course of his life throughout the last thirty years.
Therefore, the author has some knowledge and first-hand experience of his subject matter. Big Foot has completed several other fiction works and has several more in progress. He believes he can create a good number of modern fictional thrillers, from the extraordinary life he has seen and lived.
Big Foot currently lives in Dubai on the famous Palm Jumeirah, where he spends his days scribbling; looking for inspiration and cause. And trying to remain almost sane in this ever changing and multifaceted world.
The story’s come easily and there are many more to follow. Having walked a fine line for many years, the writer understands there are always at least two sides to a tale. Each will have merit and fault, perhaps not in equal measure; Big Foot is only the storyteller and never the judge. Interested agents are most welcome. [email protected]
