STEPHEN TAYLOR

According to the bio on his website: "I was born in 1968 in Walthamstow, London but have lived in Norfolk since the age of five. I have a wife Emma and two children, Adam and Sophie.

I’ve always had a love of action thriller books, Lee Child’s Jack Reacher and Vince Flynn’s Mitch Rapp and Tom Wood’s Victor. I also love action movies, Die Hard, Daniel Craig’s Bond and Jason Statham in The Transporter and don’t get me started on Guy Richie’s Lock Stock or Snatch. The harder and faster the action the better, with a bit of humour thrown in to move it along.

Call it a mid-life crisis or a need to let my creative monster out, with the big 50 approaching I sat down threw all of the above in a blender and started writing Execution of Faith. A supercharged, action packed roller coaster of a ride that doesn’t take itself too seriously. That went so well I wrote a prequel Vodka Over London Ice, which due to the time line was made the first in the Danny Pearson Thriller Series."
