Danny King was born in Slough in 1969 and later grew up in Yateley, Hampshire. He has worked as a hod carrier, a supermarket shelf stacker, a painter & decorator, a postman and a magazine editor and today uses these rich experiences to dodge all of the aforementioned. Besides books he has also written for the both big and small screens and the stage: his credits include the BBC sitcom Thieves Like Us, the forthcoming 2012 movie Wild Bill and the stage show The Pornographer Diaries, which played throughout the 2007 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He lives in Chichester, West Sussex with wife, Jeannie and two children and divides his time between writing and wondering what to write about. For further details go to dannykingbooks.com.
