Amer Anwar grew up in West London. After leaving college he had a variety of jobs, including; warehouse assistant, comic book lettering artist, driver for emergency doctors and chalet rep in the French Alps. He eventually settled into a career as a creative artworker/graphic designer and spent the next decade and a half producing artwork, mainly for the home entertainment industry.
Not having written any fiction since about the age of 12, but still dreaming of one day writing a novel, Amer started taking writing classes in the evenings. This led on to a graduate certificate and then an MA in Creative Writing, both from Birkbeck, University of London.
By this time he had begun work on a novel and decided to enter the opening chapters to the prestigious CWA Debut Dagger competition for the best unpublished novel, in order to receive his first rejection on the road to publication. To his complete amazement, he won the actual award. It took him another eight years, however, to finish the novel and then a further two to get published.
His critically acclaimed debut, Brothers in Blood, a fast-paced crime thriller set in west London, was picked by both the Times and the Guardian as one of their books of the year. The eagerly awaited follow-up, Stone Cold Trouble, again featuring ex-con Zaq Khan and his best friend Jags, will be published in September 2020.
