Anthony Horowitz is now available at leading bookshop. ">The most prolific author of murder and suspense, has once told in his interview," I start work at 7 am and write all day, sven day and a week. If i dont write, I can't sleep". He cant be introduced as a children's and young adults writer, or just a novelist or perhaps a successful screenwriter. Infact, he has many identities. The British Education Secretary has even called him "the not-so-secret weapon" to get boys reading. He is often singled out by the British and American press as the writer for tween boys. Born on 5th April 1955, Anthony Horowitz is profuse English writer. He has been writing since he was eight, but his first books was published at age of 22. He is not only into writing books but also write for television series, movies as wellas theatre. Besides if he get time, doesnt hesiate to write article for The Economist, The Guardian, Mail on Sunday, Sunday Telegrap. He is a regular guest critic on BBC TV's Newsnight Review. His famous children books include Diamond Brothers Series, The Power Of Five Series but Alex Rider Series that has roused his successful career as a writer. The series constantly topped the New York Times bestselling list. Anthony's work has enjoyed huge international success and has been translated into 28 languages. Even Raven's Gate is one of his best selling books. His some of famous television series was Foyle's war, Collision and Injustice. Both Foyle's war and Midsomer Murder has fetched him a BAFTA award. With So many awards and prestige in his bag, he is perhaps now one of the most busiest writer in UK. His Childhood Born to a family of wealth and status, Anthony was raised by nannies, and surrounded by servants and chauffeurs. Anthony's father was threatened with bankruptcy, withdrew all of his money from Swiss bank accounts in Zurich and deposited it in another account under a false name and then promptly died. His mother searched unsuccessfully for years in an attempt to find the money, but never did. His mother, whom he adored, eccentrically gave him a human skull for his 13th birthday. His grandmother was a mean-spirited and malevolent- a destructive force in his life. She was, he says, "a truly evil person," his first and worst arch villain. And the headmaster at his boarding school flogged the boys until they bled. So how did an unhappy boy, from a privileged background, metamorphose into the creator of Alex Rider, the reluctant teen super-spy for Britain's MI6? Although his childhood permanently scarred him, it also gave him a gift — it provided him with rich source material for his writing career. He found solace in boyhood in the escapism of the James Bond films, he says. He explains that his two sons watch these films with the same tremendous enjoyment he did at their age. Bond's glamour translates perfectly to the 14-year-old psyche, the author says. "Bond had is cocktails, the car and the clothes. Kids are just as picky. It's got to be the right Nike trainers, the right skateboard. And I genuinely think that the 14-year-olds are the coolest people on the planet. It's this wonderful, golden age, just on the cusp of manhood when everything seems possible." His Family He is married to Jill green, who is TV producer and has two sons named Nicholas and Cassian. Legends Of Anthony Horowitz is now available at leading bookshop.
