Dean Crawford

Dean Crawford became a full-time writer when his dream of joining the Royal Airforce was cut short when he failed the Airforce’s stringent tests. By fusing the love he has for science and the love of fast-paced revelatory thrillers, Dean Crawford soon discovered a career that he could follow passionately. Now, Dean Crawford is a full-time writer who resides with his partner and their daughter Surrey.
