Bio:
|
Richard Kunzmann published his first book in the UK at 26, and Bloody Harvests was immediately short-listed for the Crime Writers Association’s lucrative J.C.W. Creasy Award for Best New Novel, in 2004. Publication of Bloody Harvests and his second novel, Salamander Cotton, in all English language territories followed soon afterward. The Washington Post has described his writing as ‘recalling "No Country for Old Men" and other Cormac McCarthy novels that focus a literary sensibility on bloodcurdling events’, while the Sunday Times hailed him as ‘an impressive new talent in the thriller genre’. The Cape Times says of his latest book, Dead-End Road, ‘It stands head and shoulders among the many crime novels we are confronted with’.
The German publisher Droemer-Knaur have just purchased rights to Bloody Harvests and Dead-End Road in Richard’s first translation.
Richard was born in Namibia but resided most of his life in South Africa, where he secured a masters in Psychology, while also majoring in Criminology. Currently, he lives in Guildford, UK.
