PAUL FINCH #1 ebook Bestseller and top 10 Sunday Times Bestseller. Paul Finch studied History at Goldsmiths, London, before becoming a cop in the Northest of England. He then let his passion for writing allow him to follow a career in journalism. Now a full time writer, he first cut his literary teeth penning episodes of the British TV crime drama, THE BILL, and has written extensively in the field of children's animation. However, he is probably best known for his work in thrillers and horrors. His crime debut novel, STALKERS, was a No1 ebook best seller in 2013 and introduced DS Mark 'Heck' Heckenburg. This was followed in July 2013 by the sequel, SACRIFICE. He has since added THE KILLING CLUB, DEAD MAN WALKING, HUNTED, ASHES TO ASHES, KISS OF DEATH and ROGUE to the series which is also published in Germany, Poland, Turkey, Hungary, Japan, Italy, Czechoslovakia and Croatia. In 2016, Heck took a brief break to be replaced by DC Lucy Clayburn. The opening novel, STRANGERS, became an immediate success reaching the Top Ten in the Sunday Times Bestseller list. This has been followed up by two further instalments for Lucy, SHADOWS and STOLEN. Paul has two stand alone thrillers published by Orion, ONE EYE OPEN and NEVER SEEN AGAIN, while two further stand alones are due to be publish by Thomas and Mercer in 2025. His crime short story, THE NEW LAD was shortlsted for the CWA Short Story Dagger awards in 2020. In addition to his Crime novels, Paul has had twelve books and nearly 300 stories and novellas published on both sides of the Atlantic. His first collection, AFTER SHOCKS (Ash-Tree Press), won the British Fantasy Award in 2002, while he won the award again in 2007 for his novella, KID. Later in 2007, he won the International Horror Guild Award for his mid-length story, THE OLD NORTH ROAD. His short novel, CAPE WRATH (Telos), was short-listed for the Bram Stoker Award in 2002, and several other collections of his stories and novellas have been published since, all of them well received by fans and readers. His horror novel, STRONGHOLD, was published by Abaddon Books in 2010, and the same year Pendragon Press published his highly rated festive terror tale, SPARROWHAWK. Paul has also written three DR WHO audio dramas for Big Finish - LEVIATHAN, SENTINELS OF THE NEW DAWN and HEXAGORA, along with THRESHOLD, the pilot episode for the DR WHO spin-off series, COUNTER MEASURES. Paul's DR WHO novel, HUNTER'S MOON was published by BBC Books in 2011. Paul is no stranger to film either, having written scripts for several horror movies. Two of these, SPIRIT TRAP and THE DEVIL'S ROCK, were released in 2005 and 2011 respectively, while his movie script, WAR WOLF, is under development. Wearing an editor's hat, Paul is also responsible for the TERROR TALES series, a collection of ghost and horror anthologies exploring the folklore, history and geography of the various regions of Britain. Paul Finch lives in Lancashire, UK, with his wife and business partner, Cathy, and their four legged companion, Buddy.
