Thriller writer Steve Jackson was born in Arbroath, Scotland in 1969. He spent his early childhood living in the golfing town of Carnoustie. At the age of eleven he moved to Stroud in Gloucestershire, England.
On leaving school, Jackson went into journalism. He worked first for the Marlborough Times, and then for the Stroud News and Journal. The Nineties saw a radical change of direction. A keen guitarist from a young age, he spent most of that decade trying to make a living as a musician. During this time he played in numerous bands. He also worked as a recording engineer.
At the turn of the Millenium he started writing fiction. His debut novel, The Mentor, was published by HarperCollins in October 2006. The book introduces MI6 spy, Paul Aston. The second Paul Aston book, The Judas, will be published in 2007.
