Mark Chadbourn

A Times Hardback Fiction Bestseller, Mark Chadbourn has published his epic, imaginative novels in many countries around the world. After studying Economics at university, he became a successful journalist, writing for The Times, The Guardian and The independent among others. When his first short story won Fear magazine's Best New Author award, he was snapped up by an agent and immediately found a publisher for his first novel, Underground. Since then his work has won several awards and he has become a bestseller under his own name and under his historical fiction pseudonym James Wilde.

Mark has also forged a parallel career as a screenwriter with many hours of produced work for the BBC and is now developing new shows for the global streaming giants.

Previously he has held several varied and colourful jobs, including independent record company boss, band manager, production line worker, engineer's 'mate', and media consultant. Mark now divides his time between London and New York, two

cities that he loves.
