Follow or friend, if you like Noir, like me.

I'm Geoff Smith and I'm a writer of Noir and Pulp style crime fiction. I am currently working on my first novel, 'Burning Crowe'. It's a British noir private eye novel with a teenage protagonist.

In the 1990s I was a waster. I'd dropped out of university - twice - I'd been too damned shy to get into groups with the cool kids.

Back in Kent, in dead end jobs I got my shit together. I did Literature at night school, and then at university in Canterbury. I took a PGCE and now I work as an English teacher in Hertfordshire.

I live with my wife and young son near Chelmsford and Harlow in Essex.

On Goodreads you can find me at the Pulp Fiction group, which I totally recommend if you, like me, like Noir.
