After many years in corporate leadership positions, including CEO roles in two major companies, E. J. Simon began to write. His first novel, Death Never Sleeps, became a Kindle Bestseller. Though he spent most of his life in New York City and Westport, Simon and his wife, Andrea, now live in Durham, North Carolina and are savoring southern living, the theatre, music, cooking, dining out and building their photography collection. He still is an avid New York Yankees fan but also now follows the Durham Bulls.
