Terry Deary was born in Sunderland, in the north east of England, and now lives in County Durham. He was a professional actor before he began writing scripts for the theatre company he was working for and then adapting those stories into novels. He has also worked as a theatre director, museum manager, drama teacher and television presenter. Terry is the creator of the Horrible Histories series and has written both fiction and non-fiction for children and adults, including the No. 1 Sunday Times bestseller A History of Britain in Ten Enemies. He has been a published writer since 1977, selling over 38 million books in 45 languages, and he has also written for TV, theatre, radio, audio and new media scripts. Terry's great love has always been reading murder mysteries and, for his landmark 350th book, he decided to finally write his own. Actually, I'm a Murderer was his first crime novel and it was the start of the Actually Murders series.
Praise for Terry Deary's crime novels: A twisting, turning, unpredictable jaunt through a murder mystery that takes 50 years to reveal its deliciously captivating conclusion. With a cast of intriguing characters and a premise so ordinary and innocuous, I found myself drawn into a dark, witty story that had me racing for the end, yet reluctant to finish! Vivid, clever, cheeky and compelling -- Janice Hallett, Sunday Times bestselling author of THE APPEAL The most fun I've had reading a book in a long time. Pitch-perfect in tone, funny, and so very very clever. I'd be surprised if I read anything better this year. Highly recommended -- M. W. Craven, Sunday Times bestselling author of THE MERCY CHAIR A wonderful story told with increasing pace. A cross between Hitchcock and The Beiderbecke Affair -- Ian Moore, author of DEATH AND CROISSANTS Stunning . . . a delightful joyride of a book. Its switchback turns are managed with professional ease, so that the reader does not know exactly what happened until the very end -- Simon Brett, author of the Charles Paris series
