Adam Maxwell


Biography

Adam lives a semi-misanthropic life beside the seaside in Northumberland in the UK. He spends most of his days in the attic and sometimes throws pebbles at passers-by. His first book, Dial M for Monkey was published in 2006 and was a cult success on both sides of the Atlantic.

The time Adam doesn't spend writing is spent building websites including his own www.adammaxwell.com where you can also see more of his short stories, flash fiction and listen to his award winning podcast.

If you keep coming back here and visiting his website he may consider a cessassion of pebble-throwing but if you wave at him he will not wave back.
