Paul Spencer was born in London, but grew up in Australia, and has traveled extensively ever since. He lived in the United States for many years, where he became a lawyer. His experience in criminal and anti-discrimination law exposed him to the plight of people on the fringes of modern society, and inspired him to write Black Mark, his first novel. Besides writing, Paul enjoys reading Tartan Noir, making sausages, and messing around with cars. He lives in Spain with his wife, a lazy old Labrador, and an obnoxious cat.
