Writing has always been my passion. It was my favourite hour a week at primary school, and I started on my first, truly abysmal book as a teenager. So it wasn’t a difficult decision to study literature at university which led to an MA in Creative Writing. I spent a long time writing kids’ books, including funny fairy tales, dystopic adventures and serious issue-based YA, before switching to murder mysteries last year.

I grew up in a crime fiction family and spent a long time dreaming up the idea for my detective Izzy Palmer’s debut novel. A Corpse Called Bob is my first full-length book for adults in what is already becoming a long series.

I’m a Welsh-Irish-Englishman originally from South London but now living with my French/Spanish wife an ...more

Benedict Brown answered Diane's question: No question, but I agree with Janet the Lord Edgington series is wonderful. It's a breath of fresh air, coming from the perspective of a teenager, and I enjoy the dog being included. I find things, places, and terms in the books unfamiliar to me as they are British by nature, and they become points of discussion for me and my boyfriend, who is originally from London. Thanks!!!? Thanks, Diane! That's lovely to hear. Say hello to my fellow Londoner from me.

“If my tone isn’t clear enough, I think it’s fair to say that I’ve never been a fan of my school’s educational methods. Though my father always insisted that Oakton Academy was where he learnt to be a man, I’ve yet to discover exactly what he would have turned into otherwise.”
