ⓘ About John Marrs

The British journalist and writer John Marrs is well known for creating unique and engaging contemporary fiction with an element of science-fiction speculation. With all his novels grounded in reality though, he has really managed to create a distinctive and idiosyncratic voice all of his very own. Coming from Northamptonshire in the United Kingdom, he has made waves within the literary industry of late. Having spent over twenty years in the entertainment industry, interviewing celebrities for high-end publications such as ‘The Guardian’, he comes with an already well established brand behind him. Largely focusing on thriller novels, he has a gift for suspense, as well as speculation, putting forth ideas that examine relationships and human behavior.
