About the Author
Stuart lives in London with his amazing wife and daughter. He drinks lots of tea. What else??When he left university he went travelling for three months and stayed away for five years. Every time his parents asked when he'd be back he told them next week, and meant it. Stuart is not to be trusted. In the nicest possible way. He's got a degree in English and Philosophy, which makes him excellent at arguing and terrible at choosing degrees. Having trained for no particular career, he has dabbled in most of them. He stocked shelves in a Darwin bookshop, taught English in Shanghai, worked for a technology magazine in London, wrote travel articles in Dubai, and now he's a freelance journalist. None of this was planned, he just kept getting lost on his way to other places. He likes a chat. He likes books. He likes people who write books and people who read books. He doesn't know how to write a biography, so should probably stop before he tells you about his dreams or something. It was lovely to meet you, though. Stuart's debut novel is called The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle in the UK and The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle in the US. They're the same book. Don't fret.
