After having two kids, Lee Coates had almost given up on ever fulfilling his dream of writing a novel, spare time being so precious. However, a light-bulb moment occurred during one of his sons’ extracurricular activities. These interminable minutes needn’t be dead time. Lee can be regularly found writing his dark psychological thriller novels at the side of football pitches and tennis courts in his hometown of Cardiff.

He has written three dark psychological thriller novels to date - The Shrew, Smileyface and The Look.
