Mark Simmons has been writing thrillers and horror recreationally since a young age, finding a passion for classic and modern literature from the local library and the books suggested to him by his older siblings.

 

Born and raised on the coastline of Suffolk, England. Mark also found his creativity stimulated by the rolling countryside and coastal emptiness of East Anglia.

 

After twelve years of working in various areas of the Television Broadcasting Industry across the UK, he has returned to his roots, and now lives on the banks of the River Stour with his Epidemiologist wife, The Doctor.

 

It was her love of crime books that was the catalyst for his Detective Inspector Bambridge series of novels. Creating an unorthodox character that operates in his own dark world.

 

Bled Out is the first in the series of DI Bambridge novels, where we delve into the darkest recesses of the minds of both the killer and the detective.
