Adam Maxwell

Adam Maxwell has written for a plethora of publications including Dave Eggers' McSweeney's. His first book, a collection of short stories and flash fiction for adults 'Dial M For Monkey' was published in 2006. Most recently he has been working on a series of stories and novellas about a narcoleptic detective called 'The Defective Detective' and has branched out into children's fiction with 'The Lost Bookshop'.

Adam spends a great deal of his time in the attic on his own and is cultivating a fear of crowds. He has a Masters Degree in Creative Writing from Northumbria University, and lives in the wilds of Northumberland. If you wave to him he is unlikely to wave back.
