Steven Dunne was born in West Yorkshire in England. He went to the University of Kent and studied as little as possible, yet somehow emerged with an honours degree. He began writing articles for quality newspapers on dull subjects before writing the book for the Latchmere Theatre's award-winning fringe production of Hansel and Gretel in 1989. He co-also co-wrote the revue, It's Mad Mad World, We're Plastered performed at the Rhoda McGaw Theatre in Woking the previous year and played the role of Teddy in the same theatre's production of Harold Pinter's The Homecoming the same year. In the 1996 he moved up to his adopted home town of Derby. In 2007, he self-published Reaper, a thriller set in the city, featuring the hyper-intelligent but mentally troubled detective, DI Damen Brook. The rights were optioned by Harper Collins and six more critically-acclaimed books followed. A Killing Moon, the 5th book in the series, won the coveted literary prize the East Midlands Book Award in 2016. The 7th book in the series, The Resurrection, is the long-awaited final book in the Reaper trilogy and will be released on kindle for only 99p. Pre-order now!
