Simon Wright

Simon was born, raised and continues to live in and around the Home Counties of London, England. He has forged a career as a leadership and brand consultant, advising and coaching business leaders internationally. When challenged on his credentials as a writer he cites a school commendation for creative writing and winning the Jane Austen Award for Achievements in English at his sixth form college. He acknowledges that other writers have more prestigious credentials. Simon’s first book, The Colossus, garnered some surprisingly favourable reviews, which encouraged Simon to continue pursuing his dream with the sequel, The Twin Rings, and now The Ancient Secret, completing the trilogy. Simon admits that response to the Red Scarf series has led to some alarming delusions of literary grandeur, although the Oxford comma and the dangling modifier continue to keep him awake at night. He has also expressed immense relief at the relaxing of protocols around the split infinitive.
