Clement Lister Skelton (“Clem”) was born in Northumberland in 1919. In 1938 Clem could see that war was coming and joined the RAF. He was a Spitfire pilot in the Battle of Britain. Post-war Clem also got involved in theatre, acting in the West End and with the Viking Players in Scarborough, doing weekly rep and moving from place to place. In 1963, he met David James, founder of the “Loch Ness Phenomena Investigation Bureau”. Clem went with him to Loch Ness, to try and catch “Nessie” on film. He lived permanently on the site, in a caravan. In 1966 Clem met his future wife, Alison Scott, who was travelling the Highlands while a student at Edinburgh University. They met when she walked into a hotel and he said “That’s the girl I’m going to marry.” The couple met the agent Henry Morrison through Alison’s brother, who is also an author. They became friends and were encouraged by Henry Morrison and his wife to write. Clem and Alison wrote Gothic novels together under the name of Abigail Clements. It was Henry who suggested the idea to Clem to write the novel which became Hardacre. An international success, it was followed by a sequel, Hardacre’s Luck. Clem also wrote the Regiment trilogy, which he originally envisioned as a four-part series. Sadly, he died before he could start work on a fourth and final book in the series. Clem's ebooks are now exclusively available from Wyndham Books.
