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 has encouraged Simon to continue pursuing his dream with the sequel, The Twin Rings. Simon admits that response to The Colossus, book 1 in The Red Scarf Series, has led to some alarming delusions of literary grandeur, although the Oxford comma continues to keep him awake at night. Sadly this has now been joined by the dangling modifier.
