Steve Roach

I’m a Worcester, UK based author with books in a number of genres including horror fiction, micro street art, retro gaming, travelogues and illustrated children’s books. I have over 200 four-star and five-star reviews for my books on Amazon. For an independent writer, I feel that’s a decent achievement.

My travel books are light-hearted and fun, covering such journeys as a three-month road trip around North America, a grand tour of Europe in a VW Campervan and a month-long cycling trip through France from Cherbourg to Perpignan. They bring the ‘get-up-and-go’ attitude to travel and represent the sort of experiences ordinary people have when doing similar things. I have no production company behind me, no personal assistants to organise meetings or events in advance – I just get in a campervan, or get on a pushbike and go, and then tell you what happens.

My fiction is usually quite dark, often with horror elements. My period fiction (such as ‘The Whaler’, or the ‘New Orleans Trilogy’ which was set during the days before, during and after the 2005 Hurricane Katrina disaster) usually involve intense bouts of research to bring in authentic background details.

I’ve also written children's books, working in collaboration with the late artist Simon Schild.
