Drew Launay is the author of 56 books with subjects ranging from domestic trauma, psychic thrillers and erotic humour to non fiction on luxury foods, antiques, history, and travel as well as stage plays and scripts for films and television.
Born in London of French parents, he was educated in England, finished in France and escaped the pressures of London to write full time in Spain.
First married to a serene English fashion model he was divorced then married to a fiery, footstamping, mad as a sombrero Andalusian. From both he gained a great deal of valuable material and experience of life.
He is the father of three sons, one a famous record producer, two in the film business, and a successful illustrator-artist daughter.
His work has been reviewed as:
Shrewd artistry, skilfully crafted
Acidly witty
Told eloquently without clutter
Cleverly constructed tales that successfully combine dry British humour with Hitchcockian suspense
In the USA he was labelled as "The spine chilling master of occult horror"
