Clone

For perfect couple Jen and Liam, there was only ever one option for their child: the perfect insurance policy. The ultimate safety net should anything happen to their son Josh, provided by Future Medical Advancements Ltd., gave them both peace of mind.

The cloning, or ‘twinning’ process, offered by the cutting-edge medical company seemed the ideal solution… until Josh’s behaviour started taking a turn for the worse.

Josh insists his imaginary friend is behind it all, but is there a more sinister connection with his twin than meets the eye? As Josh’s behaviour spirals out of control, Jen and Liam struggle to find a way to stop the horrifying events unfolding before their eyes and devastating their lives.

Simon J Patel is a degree-educated engineer by trade. His interest in books and reading spans his whole life, and it is this obsession that has led him to start on his own path in writing. Being a huge horror fan, there was only one direction for him with regards to genre. He is currently writing his second novel, and already has plans for a third.

He is also a musician and has played bass guitar for many years in a relatively successful heavy metal band. This has afforded him a chance to travel the world (most of the gigs have been international) and they have played in everything—from smaller clubs to much larger events.

Living in Gloucestershire, he is a family man with four children and two grandchildren, and has been with his partner for nearly 30 years.
