edit data

Bestselling author of 25 books in five different genres.

A thriller writer from England, writing since he was eight years old, Luis has released nearly twenty books in three years. His prolific writing is the result of too much caffeine and not enough friends!

Samways is known for writing violent thrillers with twisted plots and depraved baddies. But in real life he's a softy that enjoys watching films and playing video games. He has a wife that he loves very much. He tries to make her read his books, but she gave up after book number fifteen. Apparently "she has a life" and can't keep up with all his releases.

She promises to catch up on them soon, but he doubts it very much!

Samways has had number one bestsellers in the Murder Mystery charts ...more

Quotes by Luis Samways (?)

“This is not a game, and I am tired of people around here forgetting where they put their nuts!’ Frank draws the attention of the officers gawking at the TV set; waiting for Connor to start streaming again.”
