During the 90s Steve Hammond worked for Scottish games company DMA Design as, amongst other things, a writer. In that time he wrote the story, background and characters for the Amiga game Hired Guns, the manuals for Uniracers, Lemmings 3 and others, and was co-writer on Body Harvest and the original Grand Theft Auto. After a short decade and a half diversion coding instrument control software in the aerospace industry, he is now a freelance writer. His lifelong interest in UFOs began in 1980 with a birthday gift of the UFO Encyclopedia, but which contained nothing about sightings made in Scotland. With the Scottish UFO Casebook, he has now collated that missing information.
