About The Author

Kamal Lewis

Kamal Lewis detective novel

Born and raised in the City of London, I grew up in your typical council estate with unruly, galivanting children like me, hiding from their parents to stay out past their curfew; idle teenagers hanging around with nothing better to do but “borrow” your football and "forget" to give it back; local residents who we brought no peace to with our noise and escapades; and of course, the loud cats and foxes fighting each other at inconvenient hours of the early morning.

 

I was a daydreamer! Just couldn't stay focused as a child, as I was far too busy imagining other worlds in my mind. What was once deemed a problem, is now the controlled force of my creative writing. Best known for my theatrical and comedic ways of storytelling, writing became a big part of my life from early on. From the days of writing stories and sketching comics strips in notepads, receiving Literacy award nominations in school, to poems being produced in anthologies and script writing for comedy skits on YouTube, I have finally made my debut novel with Detective Shabazz; the perfect fusion between action, adventure, comedy, political drama and best of all, mystery.

 

Thank you, reader, for joining me on this journey.

 

Stay tuned for the sequel, as the darkening of the streets has just begun…
