Stuart Macbride Biography & Facts
Stuart MacBride is a Scottish writer, whose crime thrillers are set in the "Granite City" of Aberdeen, with Detective Sergeant Logan McRae as protagonist. Biography Stuart MacBride was born 27 February 1969 in Dumbarton, near Glasgow and raised in Aberdeen. His occupations included scrubbing toilets offshore, graphic design, web design and IT/computer programming. He studied architecture at Heriot-Watt University. MacBride's publishing deal was secured with the writing of Halfhead; however, the publishers were more interested in Cold Granite, concerning DS Logan McRae. He was signed on a three-book Logan deal, which was further extended to six books. In 2009 he signed another deal, allowing him to write two more Logan books, and two standalone novels, the first of which due after the sixth instalment of the Logan McRae series. In an interview for the Alibi television channel, MacBride indicated he considered R. D. Wingfield a "literary inspiration". MacBride's novels, particularly those featuring Logan McRae, have been described as Tartan Noir, which has placed him alongside Ian Rankin and Val McDermid as authors who have also been described as luminaries of the genre. He now lives in Aberdeenshire with his wife, Fiona. Macbride is one of the initial batch of ten people in the Aberdeen Hall of Heroes, being awarded World Stovies Champion in 2014. He also won Celebrity Mastermind in 2017 with a specialist subject on the life and works of A. A. Milne.
