Niels Saunders wrote his first book when he was sixteen and hasn’t stopped since. Born in Cambridge, he grew up in Devon and has lived in Canterbury, Brighton and Tokyo. He loves to write in many genres including comedy, thriller and Japanese fairy tales. His short stories have been published in Ambit and Chapman magazines and he was awarded a distinction for the Creative and Critical Writing MA at the University of Sussex. When he’s not writing or reading, you’ll find him smoking meat, watching films or playing video games. To find out why he’s holding a pineapple in his photo, you’ll have to read his latest novel, Mervyn vs. Dennis.
