Alan Carter was born in Sunderland, UK. He immigrated to Australia in 1991 and divides his time between his house near the beach in Fremantle and a hobby farm up a remote valley in New Zealand. He sometimes works as a television documentary director. In his spare time he follows a black line up and down the local swimming pool. He is the author of three Cato Kwong novels - Prime Cut, Getting Warmer and Bad Seed - and a new novel set in New Zealand, Marlborough Man.
"'Getting Warmer is replete with such gems. It's a winner.' Saturday Age, Sydney Morning Herald, Canberra Times '... compelling crime drama ...' OUTinPerth '... witty, well researched and confident, this tale of crime in Australia's ""boom town"" is a rollicking good read for those who enjoy a thrilling story.' Minestyle Magazine 'Getting Warmer is a great read ...' West Australian"
