As well as writing, he runs an import/export business. His hobbies (when he has time for them) include reading, golf, tennis, snowboarding and karate. His weekends belong to his family (or so his wife tells him), as does his heart.

Simon Lelic recommends
The Fever (2014)
Megan Abbott
"Few writers evoke the politics and paranoias of young adulthood as masterfully as Megan Abbott. She tells her tale with deftness and precision, and it grips from beginning to end. A fabulous achievement."
The First Lie (2019)
A J Park
"What a fantastic read it was! It's a superbly gripping and brilliantly twisty tale."
The Catch (2020)
T M Logan
"Taut, tense and compelling. T.M. Logan's talent is in creating characters with whom the reader instantly relates, and then thrusting them into situations that reflect our deepest fears. Thriller writing at its finest."
What Lies Between Us (2020)
John Marrs
"It’s a pitch-perfect psychological thriller, with a captivating power play at its heart. I don’t recall reading a novel that so expertly toyed with my sympathies. Great stuff!"
Imperfect Women (2020)
Araminta Hall
"Beautifully written and expertly structured - a masterclass in psychological thriller writing."
The Devil and the Dark Water (2020)
Stuart Turton
"Stunningly good. A page-turning mystery on an epic scale, intricately plotted and expertly landed."
The Long, Long Afternoon (2021)
