SJ Sherwood grew up in a small town in rural England and often dreamt of escaping to the bright lights of a big city. He has an MA in Drama from UCL and has had a successful career selling software in the financial sector, having worked for several FTSE 100 companies.

The one constant in his life has been his writing. He’s always been fascinated by the power of story. He finds a magical satisfaction in the clarity that drama can bring. One of the central themes he likes to explore is the disconnect between what people say and do, and the impact this has on their lives.

Am I... is a suspense thriller that peels back the lid on what it’s like to be in the maelstrom of a narcissistic relationship. What appears a straightforward case of domestic murder soon unravels as a complex relationship that is driven by manipulation and deceit, where the lines of truth and culpability are blurred.

The Denounced Series is a young adult trilogy that follows six orphans who are forced to trust one another in order to survive a brutal regime.

Apologise…Hell, No! is a non-fiction title that explores the power of an apology in a world that's forgetting how to say sorry, and mean it.

SJ Sherwood finally escaped to the bright lights of London where he lives with his wife and their two gorgeous children.
