Revell Cornell. I live in the North East of England.

My novels, 'Speedy Emi', 'The Borders', 'Easy Killing', Rejected, The Pilgrim Seed, and 'The Addiction Line',' are also all available as e books on Amazon Kindle. A Book that I have unpublished for periodical checking is , 'The Chosen One'.

I write crime from the criminal's viewpoint; there are no plodding detectives in my books. My stories are structured around the shenanigans of criminals in dispute with other criminals, or the world in general. Even 'Speedy Emi' (based on the life of a young girl now living near my home town) is a story woven around crime. In fairness to Emi (not her real name) her well-documented life of crime was the result of her not too pretty childhood. If you think it's hard to progress in a 'man's world', see how this wonderful girl did it.

There are few hero detectives in my stories.

My infamous claim to fame is that as a young boy, I was part of a group of teenagers that 'borrowed' a car belonging to a very famous London crime 'Firm'. Once we'd discovered who the car belonged to, we dumped it pretty quick. I, like the other boys, never left home for a month; yep, we were scared witless.

Many years later, a main member of the gang heard about our escapade, and how frightened we'd all been. Apparently he laughed about it, flapped a dismissive hand, and said, 'Tell them they're forgiven'. I love driving, at speed, or not at speed. I just love it

While I'm not an excellent swimmer, especially underwater, I spend as much time as I can at the local swimming pool with my wife, Elizabeth (Liz)
