LAURENCE
O'BRYAN, studied English and history, then business, and IT at Oxford
University. He spent ten years working in the City of London, the creaking hub
of world finance. He was first published by a school newspaper when he was ten,
for a short story about aliens getting lost. The Istanbul Puzzle is his first
novel published. It is part of a three book contract with Harper Collins. It
will be translated into 9 languages and be published in about 15 countries, and
in 2007, he won the Outstanding Novel Submitted award at the Southern California
writer's conference.
He is a member of the UK
Crime Writer's Association, the Society of Authors, the Irish Writing Centre,
two "live" writing groups in Dublin and online writing communities in England
and the States. His research has taken me all over the world, from San Francisco
to deep in the Arab world. And he still enjoy looking at the stars and listening
to the stories of strangers.
