A.W. Lambert was born and raised in Battersea, south London, UK. After completing his National Military Service, during which time he was engaged in active service in the EOKA terrorist conflict on the island of Cyprus, he embarked on an engineering career in the British aircraft industry where he also became a qualified pilot. In 1992 he retired from the industry to follow his two main passions: the playing of his favourite music, traditional New Orleans jazz, and creative writing. After studying with The Writer's Bureau, he developed extensive experience achieving success in magazine articles and short story writing before moving into the field of full-length Action/ Adventure. A Treacherous Past, his first published novel, introduced retired London Metropolitan Police Inspector, now private investigator, Theo Stern for the first time. Since then, follow up novels have seen Stern and AW's other absorbing characters involved in increasingly intriguing and dangerous scenarios. After raising two sons, one now living in Boston, USA, the other in Melbourne, Australia, A.W. lives with his wife, Valerie, in a tiny hamlet on the North Norfolk coast of England.
