Simon Lyons

Having left his North London ‘sink’ comprehensive at the age of fifteen with few qualifications, Simon travelled extensively before settling down to family life and ‘blagging’ a living. A ferocious gig and festival goer, he always felt he had a story to tell and How to Kidnap a String Quartet, his debut novel, is an expression of his varied experiences of life and wild and whacky imagination. The follow-up The Good Poison Club is an exciting thriller set in a London NHS hospital.

Simons latest novel’The last weekend in wonderland’ is a celebration of his lifetime of gigs and festivals, a story of friendships, murder , mayhem and how to survive festival toilets!
