Tony Parsons
(b.1953)Tony Parsons was born in 1955 in Essex. Although he had already written a novel at the age of seventeen, he worked at the Gordon's gin distillery in London until summer 1976, when he started working for the NME (New Musical Express) as a punk journalist. This took him on the road with bands like The Sex Pistols.
He married Julie Burchill, a fellow NME journalist, and they had a son, Bobby, before divorcing.
He has a regular column in The Mirror and participates in the BBC arts programme, Newsnight Review. He has also written for, among other publications, The Face, Marie Claire, The Daily Mail, Arena, The Guardian, Elle, The Daily Telegraph, The Spectator, The Sunday Times, GQ and Red.
He has now re-married, and lives in London.

Tony Parsons recommends
The Trial (2023)
(Adam Green Mystery, book 1)
Rob Rinder
"This is a book that takes you to the dark heart of the criminal justice system. They are all here - the good, the bad, the innocent and the guilty. I have not enjoyed a legal thriller this much since Grisham's The Firm."
The Scarlet Papers (2023)
Matthew Richardson
"Smart, slick and totally gripping . . . The Scarlet Papers is always credible, always startling and almost painfully human. A total triumph."
Until Proven Innocent (2023)
(Lee Mitchell, book 2)
Nicola Williams
"Spectacular! British crime fiction has a dazzling new voice in Nicola Williams."
Just Got Real (2022)
Jane Fallon
"Just Got Real is a story of four vividly-drawn women and one horribly believable man, a novel about friendship and treachery that contains what must be the killer twist of the year. Totally brilliant."
Payday (2021)
Celia Walden
"Sensational. Full of twists and turns and ambushes that keep you guessing up until the very last page. PAYDAY is the best book you will read all year about where men and women are right now."
