About Gulliver

Gulliver Smith used to be someone completely different - this is a massive step down. Gulliver has been known by other names for many years. He was younger then, clever, hirsute, handsome, good company, sensible and superbly fit. None of the above apply now.

He writes crime fiction with a hard edge, making use of a life which frequently brought him into contact with major drug dealers, gang leaders, heroin addicts and many other denizens of society's underbelly. Many of them were fascinating company and regarded him as a friend, albeit a one-sided friendship doomed to be short-lived.

During the course of an unconventional life, touched by wanderlust, involving much movement around the globe, he has been a labourer in a steel-works, taught English and History, been a work-study engineer, a restaurateur, civil servant, Nightclub bouncer, antique dealer, owned a small French vineyard and also had another job that he's not supposed to talk about.

His first published novel was a Kindle phenomenon, storming into the Top Ten of the Amazon All Books chart. As with so much else in his life, Gulliver managed to contain astonishment behind a façade of justifiable expectation.

To define the author in one word would be difficult. "Wastrel" comes pretty close.

He writes, sporadically. Very occasionally, his writing meets acceptable standards.”
