Simon Royle was born in Manchester, England in 1963. He has been variously a yachtsman, advertising executive, and a senior management executive in software companies. A futurist and a technologist, he lives in Bangkok, with his wife and two children.Simon's first two novels Tag, and Bangkok Burn, have been well received by Amazon readers.Tag is a technothriller set in the year 2109. What readers have called,- "more futuristic than science-fiction, and the technological advances of 2110 are not far-fetched, they are easily imaginable."- "...in "Tag." The technology felt like a logical evolution from today to one hundred years into the future."- ""Tag," reminds me a bit of one my childhood favorite authors, Isaac Asimov, in that he's written a book that projects a future reflecting very plausible cultural and political scenario, given what trends we've seen in history."(Above quotes stolen from recent reviews on Amazon US).As Simon, says :), "With 'Tag' I drew on my travels and experiences in Singapore and Australia. Extrapolating from things I see today and placing them in the context of our world a hundred years from now." Bangkok Burn - a noir thriller, set during the May 2010 riots in Bangkok, has proved a hit with readers; especially those who have traveled to Thailand. - "A red-hot thriller set against the exotic backdrop of Bangkok, this is a blistering read from start to finish." - "I loved this book from beginning to end, it kept me hooked and on the edge of my seat the whole way through. I can't wait for the sequel." (Author's note: "I'm working on it...")I love to connect with you.
