Simon Wood - Author's Blurbs |
About me:
I’m Simon Wood and I’m an award winning thriller, crime and horror author.
Over the last eight years, I’ve had over 150 short stories and articles
published. My short fiction has appeared in a number “Best of” anthologies
and I'm a frequent contributor to Writer’s Digest.
I’m the author of WORKING STIFFS, DRAGGED INTO DARKNESS and ACCIDENTS WAITING TO HAPPEN. My current book is PAYING THE PIPER and my next, WE ALL FALL DOWN, will be out in July. I write horror under the pen name of Simon Janus and my first horror novella, THE SCRUBS, will be out in June.
Fictionwise.com is currently reprinting a number of short stories.
Originally from England, I moved to the US in ’98. My wife, Julie,
is American, but I don’t hold it against her. Our lives are dominated
by a longhaired dachshund, Royston, and four cats, Chewie, Chase, Bug and Tegan. In my
past, I was a competitive racecar driver and I’m a licensed pilot. My
mum likes that I’ve taken to writing, as she think it’s the safest thing I’ve
done. However, I still cycle and I travel to the far flung corners of
the world, having recently returned from Latin America. I'm dyslexic and I'm sure there are rules against me writing for a living, but I never understood the memo.
You can learn more about me at www.simonwood.net,
or email me at simonwoodwrites@yahoo.com. I send out a monthly e-newsletter
that you can join.
I hope you’ll check me out.
