VJ Books Presents Author Anthony Horowitz!

Anthony Horowitz was born in 1955 in Middlesex, England. He enjoyed reading and writing as a child and set his mind upon becoming a professional writer at a very young age. He earned a degree in English Literature from the University of York. His first book was bought for publication when he was 22 years old--a children's book, which he sold to Disney. This led him to begin writing Hollywood scripts.

Horowitz has tried his hand at journalism as well as writing for the stage and screens large and small. He has written over 40 novels, for children, teens, and adults. He is best known for his Alex Rider series and TV series Midsommer Murders and Foyle's War which he produced and created, respectively. He was also commissioned by the Conan Doyle and Ian Fleming estates to write The House of Silk (2011), featuring Sherlock Holmes and Trigger Mortis (2015), featuring James Bond. He has since written another book in each franchise. In 2014, he was awarded the Order of the British Empire for his services to literature.

Horowitz currently lives in Central London with his wife, Jill Green.
