Book Synopsis
Jay Stringer was born in 1980, and he's not dead yet. His work sits at an intersection of satire, crime, and literary fiction, focusing on character rather than spectacle. His novels have been nominated for both Anthony and Derringer awards and shortlisted for the McIlvanney Prize.
Jay was born in the Black Country but has called Glasgow home for twenty years. He's worked as a zookeeper, a bookseller, a bike courier, a debt collector, and a freelance artist. Along the way he's tried his hand at music and standup comedy, in addition to mentoring creative writing students at university and consulting for television.
He is the author of Ways to Die In Glasgow, How to Kill Friends and Implicate People, and the Marah Chase series.
Jay is dyslexic and heavily ADHD but promises not to mention it at every opportunity.
