Neil Bailey is a debut author of "The Awakening." He lives and works in the UK. Filtered through his amazing autistic brain, and experiences of battling with fibromyalgia for the last 20 years, he writes prolifically on topics from thrillers and horror for grown-ups, to children’s novels (that mix mystery, monsters, and comedy), to poetry. Deeply committed to helping our environment, he spends time doing voluntary conservation work, and plogging (litter-picking while running) during training runs for ultramarathons.
