Simon lives on the south coast of England, although he occasionally leaves to buy milk. After gaining a 1st class degree in History at Exeter University, he became a barman, grew tired of the owner calling him Andy, left in order to fail a Primary PGCE, then finally stumbled upon writing (sometimes award-winning) books.
