R.A. Howitt lives in Leeds with his partner and three children, who he is happy to rank in order of favouritism, although this changes daily (he has to say that).

After writing and not publishing half a dozen novels, he didn’t produce a manuscript for twenty years – such are the scars from rejection. During that time, he was a teacher, a tutor, became a headteacher, then quit it all as he had to return to his first love: writing.
