Paul Bennett was born in Cockney London (of which he is fluent!) and went to Exeter University to study Economics. He spent eight years in advertising before setting up a market research agency. He built that up and sold it after five years which gave him the luxury of spending time on writing. He has had ten novels published - six in the Nick Shannon thriller series, four in the Johnny Silver thriller series and one standalone thriller. In his spare time he is teaching himself the guitar (and now plays badly) and playing bridge, where he is a Premier Tournament Master.
