simon mead
At the age of nineteen, Simon worked as a train guard
on the London Underground. Since then his working
life has seen him deliver parcels, pizzas and
body parts; has thrown him onstage as Hamlet,
Oedipus and Dracula (not all at once); and has put him
in castles, classrooms and a hole in Brockwell Park.
Five years ago, he moved to Madrid where he lives
with his eternally patient wife Raquel and a two year old
carbon copy of himself called Carmen. In January of
this year, he signed with John Jarrold Literary Agency through which
his werewolf novel The Beast from the East is currently being
submitted to publishers. So, claws crossed for that one.

on a journey outlined in her words and coloured with the images
of your imagination.
