Mason N. Forbes
|
Mason Forbes is a pseudonym. He was born and grew up in the United Kingdom and is of Anglo-German-Irish heritage. After university, he worked in industry for a number of years, before moving to live and work in Germany. Upon returning to the UK with his family, he dedicated his time to writing and has since written two novels: The Strontian Factor and Bitter Sweet.
He admits to being unable to recall any of the books he read as a child, but fully recalls being captivated, at the age of twelve, with his first Alistair MacLean novel, after which he became a life-long and avid reader of thrillers. The core idea behind The Strontian Factor had sat for many years in the author’s head. He made a few attempts to translate his thoughts to paper, the results often landing in the recycle bin. Eventually, the story began to take shape and after many edits and re-writes The Strontian Factor took on its final form. The Strontian Factor drew critique with the inclusion of a first-time escort. This prompted Mason, without prejudice, to understand the escort business. Bitter Sweet is the result and the title reflects the lives of those who work as escorts. |
