Adrian Latimer
Adrian Latimer left university in 1982 not knowing what to do and unfortunately ended up in insurance broking. Having escaped that, he moved to Paris in 1991 and became risk manager for a major multinational in the energy industry. But his passion has always been fishing, since his uncle first taught him how to cast a little Mepps spinner on the lawn as a kid. Business takes him all over the world, and sometimes with a rod in the luggage too. Having fished in Iceland, Montana, Argentina, the Caribbean, Russia and lots of Europe, and written short articles for commercial fishing magazines, he started to write stories purely for his own pleasure in the 1990s. At that stage, friend and real author Bruce Sandison commented that he was in fact writing a book, and the idea took form.
Wishing to do something for conservation, Adrian decided to write the book for the North Atlantic Salmon Fund and has worked with Orri Vigfusson ever since (he is a director of NASF France). Three books were self-published, have raised over US$16,000 and are now sold out. His new book with Medlar, scheduled for publication in 2009, is a book on Argentina and Patagonia and all royalties will be donated to the NASF and the Wild Trout Trust.
Adrian lives outside Paris with his wife, daughter and two step children.
