Paul Tumilty

Paul Tumilty was born in Leek, Staffordshire, in November 1950.

Having taken early retirement in 2002 from his post as Assistant Vice-President for New Store Opening and Development for B&Q, based in Seoul, South Korea, he started writing and completed his first novel, The Tussaud Incident, later that year. A second novel, The Akula Incident followed in quick succession. However, his main love of the theatre guided him to concentrate on writing comedy plays for the theatre and television. Having lived on the Caribbean island of Roatan for four years, Paul has returned to the UK and now lives in Christchurch.
