ROGER LONGRIGG

1929 - 2000

Writing as: Laura Black, Ivor Drummond, Frank Parrish, Domini Taylor


Born in Scotland but raised in the Middle East where his father was stationed in the military, he was sent back to the U.K. to finish school. He later took a job at an advertising agency and it was there he got his inspiration for his first two books. At age 30 he married and turned to writing full-time but he elected to use various pseudonyms for different genres. According to Wikipedia, one of his aliases, Frank Parrish, caused a bit of commotion when it was won a prize for a first novel since it was actually the author's 20th.
