Steve Emmett

Steve Emmett is a British author, born in Harrogate – the genteel Yorkshire spa town where Agatha Christie hid away from the world thirty–two years earlier. He studied at the prestigious Architectural Association School of Architecture in London. For over twenty years he ran his own agency specializing in Italian country homes and, for almost ten years, lived by Lake Trasimeno in Umbria, the setting for Diavolino. Born at the end of the 1950s, Steve grew up on Dennis Wheatley novels and Hammer Horror films, and on many occasions started to put pen to paper. Completely dissatisfied and unfulfilled with his career, Steve decided in 2009 that he wanted to write and began Diavolino. At the moment he is working on a number of horror projects. He is an occasional reviewer for the New York Journal of Books and Suspense Magazine, and a proud member of the Society of Authors. He currently lives with his partner and some rather large spiders in the Yorkshire Wolds, close to the ancient City of York.
