Tony Salter

Tony Salter is the author of two novels, Best Eaten Cold and The Old Orchard (to be published in September 2017). He is currently working on his third, Sixty Minutes, which will be published in 2018. Having worked as a manager and Chief Executive for most of his life, Tony decided in early 2015 that writing fiction would be the main focus of his life going forwards. An avid reader across multiple fiction genres, he is happy to jump around between classics, literary fiction, fantasy (at the literary end), thrillers and anything else which comes along. Highlights of his early career include (in no particular order) three years as an oilfield engineer in the Egyptian desert, twelve years managing record companies for EMI Music in Greece, India and across Eastern Europe, running a caravan site in the South of France and being chauffeur to the French Consul in Sydney. Having survived the Dotcom boom, he went on to be a founder of the world's largest website for expatriates, a major music publisher and a successful hotel technology business. In amongst this, Tony found the time to backpack around the world twice (once in his twenties and once in his fifties), learn six languages (including Norwegian and Greek) and to find a beautiful Norwegian wife while studying for an MBA in Fontainebleau, France. He now lives in Oxfordshire and writes full-time. He is fifty-seven and married with three children and four grandchildren. You can find out more about Tony at www.tonysalter.com
