Jimmy Coates (26 page)

About the Author

Joe Craig is a novelist, screenwriter, songwriter and performer. His award-winning thrillers have earned him a place alongside Anthony Horowitz, Charlie Higson and Robert Muchamore as “one of the best spy kids authors... outstanding at both writing and plotting.” (The Times) The first Jimmy Coates book was published by HarperCollins in 2005. Since then the series has won over fans across the world and converted thousands of previously reluctant readers with an electric mix of action, suspense and thrilling twists.

Packed houses at festivals, bookshops, libraries and schools all over the world have experienced The Joe Craig Show. His tall tales, improvised stories, and surprising theories about writing have enthralled and entertained audiences every bit as much as his books.

He studied Philosophy at Cambridge University then became a songwriter. His first solo album (‘The Songman & Me') was released in 2011. The success of his books led to a new career writing movies. Now he splits his writing time between novels and film projects.

When he's not writing, (or even when he is) he's visiting schools, eating sushi, playing the piano, watching a movie, reading, drawing, playing snooker or cricket, inventing a new snack, cooking, doing martial arts training or sleeping.

He lives in London with his wife (broadcaster & adventurer Mary-Ann Ochota), his dog (Harpo the labradonkey) and his dwarf crocodile (Professor Sven). You can get in touch with him through his website (www.joecraig.co.uk) or facebook (www.facebook.com/joecraiguk).
