Roy M. Burgess

Roy Burgess was once an IT manager. This involved sitting in a cubicle and making stuff up. Having retired from this high octane lifestyle, he now sits in his home office and makes stuff up.

You may have read the Fifth Trilogy. If you have — thank you. If you haven’t, why not do it now? We’ll wait…

The next book is The Fifth Door, and if he can concentrate for more than ten minutes at a time, it will launch late in January 2025.

Roy's new series in a different genre. The Price We Pay is a police procedural, introducing DI Carrie Tyler and is getting great reviews.

West Yorkshire born and bred, Roy spends a lot of time staring out of the window at the Leeds-Liverpool canal. Music is a constant companion to his writing.

‘You’ll have to write an author biography of course.’
‘Oh? Why?’
‘Because people will want to know something about you before they lash out on buying one of your books.’
‘You think so, do you?’
‘Just do it, okay?’
‘So what do I tell them?’
‘For a start, you should mention that you’ve written four plays that were professionally produced and toured throughout the UK.’
‘Should I say anything about all the temp jobs I had, like working in the towels and linens stockroom at Debenhams or as a fitter’s mate in a perfume factory?’
‘No, definitely not.’
‘Motorcycle dispatch rider?’
‘You were sacked, weren’t you?’

Adrian Spalding

Finding the time to write has always been the challenge for me. The requirement to feed the family, pay the mortgage and work, all got in the way. I only found the time to write, when I began commuting each day between London and Kent. Thanks to the numerous and regular delays I encountered with South Eastern railways, I was able to actually settle down amongst my snoring fellow travellers to write fiction.
Back in the days when I had ‘real jobs’, I worked as a photographer, a journalist and a charity fundraiser, all giving me the opportunity to see first-hand the life that others lead, as well as regular press passes to Brands Hatch.
Now, a full time writer, living in Kent with my wife, I write both thriller mysteries and humorous detective

Nick Spalding

Nick Spalding is an author who, try as he might, can't seem to write anything serious.

Before becoming a full-time author, he worked in the communications industry, mainly in media and marketing. As talking rubbish for a living can get tiresome (for anyone other than a politician), he thought he'd have a crack at writing comedy fiction - with a very agreeable level of success so far, it has to be said. Nick is now a multimillion seller. This flabbergasts him every single day.

Nick is now in his fifties - and is rather annoyed at the universe about it, because it gave him no choice in the matter. He's also addicted to Thai food and roast potatoes (not together), loves Batman and Warhammer, and has a dreadful singing voice.

Fast approaching fifty; without enough money for a sports car, BD Spargo decided to express his mid-life crises by turning to crime …

Thankfully for pretty much everyone this meant writing crime fiction rather than anything more nefarious. Originally from London, he spent his early career working in television and theatre including on the Ruth Rendall Mysteries broadcast on ITV.

A life changing accident necessitated retraining and a change of direction going on to work in mental health services. This culminated in ten years managing a groundbreaking forensic psychiatric service. He now lives in Lancashire with his family and is getting acclimatised to the rain.

Will Heron

Will is the first-time author of the satirical British crime thriller 'Fruit'. He moved to the South West 3 years ago and has been trying to escape its rain and cream teas ever since. His first book is a journey into rural England's weirdness and the criminal underworld that is always lurking just under the skin of normal life in the UK.

Fruit is set amongst the bloody fruit stalls of rural English, a place all too familiar to Will as a lover of cherries and potholes. He has written several yet-to-be-released 'best sellers' and expects all his books will sell in their millions and be made into high-budget Hollywood blockbusters. He is prepared for disappointment however and has been since coming second in a literary competition with one entr

Leo Harrison

About me - I was born in Hampstead in 1966 into a home with zero mod cons and even less disposable income. However, throughout what was undoubtedly an unorthodox childhood, my parents introduced me to a series of bizarre and eccentric characters. So, to mum and dad (both RIP) I give my thanks for a tendency to drift off into a world of my own imagination.
By day I've had a varied career: antiquarian bookseller, digital marketing agency founder and I even launched a business which went from a valuation of nearly £20M to bust in the space of 18 long months. Consequently, I live a reasonably modest life with my lovely family up near Alexandra Palace.The yacht will have to wait, not that I'd ever want one anyway.
So, a little background on my fir
