Keith Carter was born in Scotland to a Dutch mother and British father. He read Economics at Cambridge, taking a First in 1981. He worked as an investment banker before going straight and running a small pharmaceutical company. He is now a writer and business consultant and lives in Cambridge. He enjoys travel, politics and economics, reading and writing, languages, music and rowdy meals with family and friends. Keith suffered a spinal cord injury in March 2018 and since rides a wheelchair, but is definitely not a victim.
Keith writes witty business-based fiction commenting on current socio-economic trends. His work is acerbic without leaving a bitter taste.
What drives Keith to write, apart from loving the craft of it, is a visceral rejection of consensus. In our networked world consensuses form too easily and are all too often lazy and wrong. He hopes his readers will enjoy the questions raised as well as the plots.
