As a young man, Ian Kent defied the norms and bought a fishing boat and fished the BC coast. After university, he tried his hand at construction, where he learned pipefitting and metal working, then worked in pulp mills where he obtained his steam engineering time and other operating skills. Later, working as an environmental technologist, he attended night school to obtain his certification as an engineering technician. When he decided to sail the coast with his family, he built a sailboat and studied navigation to meet that challenge.
Kent has been writing for many years, mainly travel stories, marine articles and historical fiction. He has lived and sailed the B.C. coast most of his life, adding to his knowledge of local marine lore and historical details.
Kent lives in Tsawwassen, a coastal community in South Delta about twenty-five miles south of Vancouver. More than thirty years of work in the environmental industry and international travel and languages has provided him with a wealth of detail and experience in the writing of his Jake Prescott, Westcoast, and Sci-Fi series of books.
Catalyst: A Jake Prescott novel
During an international environmental conference in Los Angeles, forty-three people die horribly and mysteriously on a local freeway by what initially appears to be a poison gas attack. Suspecting environmental terrorists or political extremists, government agencies remain baffled until a visiting scientist, Jake Prescott, becomes involved.
Reaction: A Jake Prescott novel
When a friend and colleague of Jake Prescott dies mysteriously during a morning run in Stanley Park, Vancouver Police involve Jake in the case.
Vengeance: A Jake Prescott Novel
While Jake Prescott and his staff try to take some well-deserved time off, a monster from their past awakens, triggering the murder and mayhem memories of the past year.
