About Ross Greenwood

Ross Greenwood is an award-winning mystery and thriller author from Peterborough. Greenwood was born in Peterborough where he spent his childhood and most of his early adulthood years. After he left his hometown, he lived and worked all over the United States and across the world. Nonetheless, he found himself going back to Peterborough many times over the years when things went awry in his life. It was on one such occasion that he met his spouse while walking the family dog one evening. His debut novel “Fifty Years of Fear” was a story he started writing a long time ago but had to stop as work and family life took precedence. He worked a ton of jobs in his earlier years but it was at his last job as a corrections officer that he got the time to write his novel. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Dark Lives Books series, Ross Greenwood has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
