Ken Ward

Born in 1960, Ken began writing seriously in 2008 after joining a local writer’s group. Following a short story publication, he created detective D.I Ray Keane. Straw, Blood, and Bones continues the popular series set in Norfolk, with ample ideas for Ray Keane’s crime-solving adventures to continue. Writing is a solitary experience for Ken: just himself sitting at the computer, forming the story as the words gather pace. Yet the characters soon join on the journey, and as the storyline progresses, conversing with others brings helpful insights, inadvertently aiding the writing process.

When not crafting the next mystery, Ken lives in Norfolk with his supportive wife Jan, and two beloved poodles who enjoy accompanying him on the writing journey.
