ⓘ About Greg Iles

Iles is one of the few authors who like to keep in touch with the readers. He encourages the fans to email him and stay in touch with him because he thinks writing is a very solitary profession. He has spoke about times when he felt very lonely and the fan mail was the only contact that he had with anyone. On his webpage, he has promised his fans that he will be posting sample chapters; video messages and he might even have some music tracks available from his band. It seems like he is over the worst now and he is working hard to get his life back on track.
