Iain Shipley is a project manager with twenty years' experience, making his literary debut with The Fortitude Chronicles.

​

His professional life has been spent in documentation and complex project management—a training in precision that shapes his fiction: medical detail rendered accurately, procedure treated with respect, and emotion earned rather than announced. Years of navigating healthcare systems, and of watching NHS professionals at work, inform the authenticity of the wards and corridors of A Test of Fortitude.

​

A Test of Fortitude is the first book of a planned trilogy tracing how fortitude passes through a family—across two generations, two continents, and seventy-five years.

 

Unyielding Fortitude follows in 2027.

​

Iain lives in London.
