Tom Bale

Tom Bale was born in Brighton in 1966. While pursuing his lifelong ambition to be a writer he worked in a variety of jobs, but none was as exhausting – or as rewarding – as the several years he spent as a househusband with two pre-school children.

He is the author of nine thrillers, including the bestsellers See How They Run, All Fall Down and Skin and Bones, as well as a Young Adult Sci-Fi novel, The Stone Song.

When not writing, he's usually reading (and eating chocolate). To mull over ideas (and offset the effect of the chocolate) he can often be found cycling the country lanes and coastal routes of Sussex. He is also a keen sea swimmer.
