Following a period spent in publishing as a journalist and then editor, I turned my attention to my long-held dream of writing fiction. My debut novel, Panic, became a bestseller on Amazon, and I followed this with a novella sequel, Shock. A further full length sequel, Psychosis, is due out later in 2013. I am influenced by horror luminaries such as Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Clive Barker, James Herbert, Richard Matheson and Jack Ketchum, as well as science fiction authors such as Dan Simmons, Richard K Morgan and Iain M Banks. I now live in Wales after escaping the London rat race, close to my family and with a cat who seems to believe he is actually a dog. I can usually be found lurking (menacingly, of course) in any of these places: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KRGriffiths1 on Twitter: @KRGriffiths1 or at my website: www.krgriffiths.org
