The USA Today bestselling author of The One That Got Away and his latest thriller, Saving Grace.
Described as “a dark demented angel” by author Ken Bruen, Simon Wood has built a reputation for concocting wild and dangerous thrillers that would have given Hitchcock nightmares. His writing takes an even darker and stranger turn as Simon Janus, his horror fiction identity. Having been a petrochemical engineer, racecar driver, pilot and private investigator, it’s not surprising he sees the world a little differently. Originally from England, he lives in Northern California with his wife, Julie, and a menagerie of rescued animals. Poke around to learn more about Simon.
