About the Author
Hi, I'm Rhys and it's nice to meet you. I'm a writer from Wales and have to date published three novels. My most recent is The Secret Life of Sam Holloway - a story about a boy called Sam, his superhero alter ego The Phantasm, and a girl called Sarah.My other two books are The Suicide Club, which is a coming of age story set in 2004, and On The Third Day, an apocalyptic adventure story that imagines a disease that dissolves hope - a kind of old school, Old Testament kind of apocalypse that exists beyond science.I live in a city called Cardiff in Wales, with my partner Amy (who is a much more successful writer than I am) and my three cats, Henry, Sheldon and Aniseed.
