About The Author: Paul Finch

Paul Finch is a former cop and journalist, now turned 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 horrors and thrillers. To date, he's had ten books and nearly 300 stories and novellas published on both sides of the Atlantic. His first collection, AFTERSHOCKS, 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. Most recently, he has written two DOCTOR WHO audio dramas for Big Finish - LEVIATHAN and SENTINELS OF THE NEW DAWN, and is now busy writing a third. His no-holds-barred cop novel, THE NICE GUYS CLUB, will be published by Leisure Books in early 2010. Paul has also written scripts for several movie adaptations of his own stories and novellas. One of these, THE DEVIL'S ROCK, is currently in pre-production and will be filmed in New Zealand, while a second, THE FREEZE, will go into pre-production in late summer, to be filmed in Canada. Paul lives in Wigan, Lancashire, with his wife Cathy and his children, Eleanor and Harry.
