I’m very pleased to introduce my guest today: British
novelist and screenwriter, Simon Lewis. I’m reading his novel GO these days and it is such a gripping
thriller! My review of the book is coming soon, meanwhile, meet its brilliant
author, please.
Simon Lewis was born in Wales in 1971 and GO is his first novel (1999), a travel
thriller about backpackers, which he wrote in a village in the Himalayas. It has been
translated into German, Italian, Turkish and Swedish so far.
His second novel, BAD TRAFFIC (2008), is a crime thriller about people smugglers, featuring jaded
Chinese cop, Inspector Jian. The book has been published in the UK and the US
and translated into German, French, Swedish, Italian, Japanese and Turkish. In
2009 it was nominated for the LA Times Book of the Year Award and for the
French SNCF prize for crime fiction.
His third travel thriller, BORDER RUN, was published in April 2012 in the US and the UK.
As a screenwriter,
