W.J. Burley lives with his wife in Holywell, near Newquay, and is a Cornishman born and bred, going back five generations. He started life as an engineer, and later went to Balliol to read zoology as a mature student. On leaving Oxford he went into teaching and, until his retirement, was senior biology master in a large mixed grammar school in Newquay. He created Inspector (now Chief Superintendent) Wycliffe in 1966 and has featured him in Cornish detective novels ever since. The series has recently been televised with Jack Shepherd starring in the title role.
