Norman Handy

Norman Handy was born in Beckenham in the southeast of England. He went to Clare House School and secondary school at a mixed boarding school in Cranbrook, Kent. Later, he studied Law for Accountants, Business Economics and Accountancy at Southampton University.

Even during his studies, he travelled as often as he could, cycling down La Loire Valley and behind the Iron Curtain. After leaving university, he lived and worked abroad, ending up on a date plantation.

He returned to the United Kingdom and, after working in a riding school, followed a career in the financial services sector based in London, including periods working aboard in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. He published his first book in 2017.

He has two children and is a keen walker, skier, cyclist, horse rider and, of course, writer! He spends his time between his homes in West Sussex and travelling.
