ADRIAN MAGSON
Crime and spy thriller author... and a few other things besides.
'Reading . . . is one of life's quiet pleasures'.
A selection of short fiction on Kindle only
For many years I wrote short stories while trying to get the elusive book deal. Mainly crime fiction, of course, which is what I
always wanted to write, but also a market I hadn't planned on writing for - women's magazines. It was the biggest market available
for a struggling writer at the time, so I gave it a go. And that was where I really began to learn the trade of being a writer; of
writing to a word count, of always meeting deadlines and writing for a market that had fairly strict demands on content.
​
In the end, however, crime fiction won out.
