लेखक के बारे में
Dennis Wheatley was born in Bolton Lancashire some time after the war (second one that is). He is married with children to Beverly, his wife of twenty some years.
Dennis started writing poetry when he was 11 years old and progressed to songwriting after he became a rock guitarist with The Detours. He was alsoco-editor of Phenomena Magazine where he wrote many articles on the supernatural, myths and magicand extra-terrestrial space travel. His songwriting became more prolific in the seventies whenhe and his co-writer friend took a trip to ‘Tin Pan Alley’ in London and were told by an executive at EMI that Tom Jones and The Fortuneswere interested in one of their songs – ‘Mississippi Gambling Guy’.
In 1982 Dennis took off for Jamaica where he spent the next 23 years and where he met Beverly, during this time he wrote many gospel songs and performed them at several Kingston churches.
He finally got down to writing his first novel in the spring of2005 and the result is this superb work of fiction. Although he has drawn inspiration from such literary giants as King, Koontz and Lumley not to mention his namesake, his style and imaginationare mostdefinitelyhis own.
Dennis currently lives with Beverly and their two children Chantal and Brett, in Harrogate North Yorkshire where he is busy on his next novel, ‘The Experiment’.
