Dr Mike Drinkall is a retired research scientist living in rural Lincolnshire in the United Kingdom. He was awarded his doctorate in 1981 and has published many scientific papers and articles. Since retiring he has researched and written several family histories and composed story books for his grandchildren. In 2015 he published a non-fiction book on his father's experiences in World World 2 - "A London in the 51st Highland Division" after extensive research in Scotland and France. The book describes how his father's Scottish Division was left behind after Dunkirk in 1940 to fight on against overwhelming forces of the German army.

His debut novel "Thinking of Peter" is his due to be published in 2026. It is set in the near future and explores the fragile boundaries between memory and identity, grief and healing. Told through the story of a young Cambridge professor's widow the novel shows an understanding of human emotion and a thoughtful curiosity about artificial intelligence, creating a narrative that is both poignant and thought-provoking.
