Stephen writes contemporary thrillers and historical mysteries.
His new novel, THE GODS, is a technothriller in the tradition of Michael Crichton, with elements of corporate conspiracy reminiscent of John Grisham. It imagines a world where men of immense wealth decide that death is an inconvenience to be avoided at all costs. It will appeal to readers of Dave Eggers, Blake Crouch, and Daniel Suarez, and anyone who has watched the world's tech billionaires accumulate power with a growing sense of unease.
His debut novel, THE LIFE AND DEATH OF ABERCROMBIE LYLE, is an historical thriller set in fascist Italy with an alternative history twist. It’s a story of love, deceit and revenge, with family secrets and a mystery to unravel.
Stephen has a DPhil in Modern History and a BA (Hons) in Philosophy, Politics & Economics from Oxford University, and an MA in History from the University of Michigan. He has taught at UC Berkeley, Boston College, San Francisco State University and St. Mary’s University Twickenham, and had careers in publishing, communications and strategic consulting.
