ABOUT KEVIN SPARK:
Novelist Kevin Spark has always been driven by telling stories, even as a kid.
“I don’t know why or what it is that makes a writer want to write, whether it’s the spirit of self-indulgence or a need to be liked or heard? I’m certainly not arrogant enough to believe I have a message the world needs to hear. Nope, I just want to tell a good story that hopefully keeps you entertained,” says Sparks.
Kevin Spark has been working as a graphic designer since leaving university, working on brands big and small, developing ad campaigns and working on various TV shows in the UK, mainly in the art department developing props. His passion for writing never ceased and he utilized the time during the Covid-19 outbreak to finally pen his first book, Id, a psychological thriller. He’s currently working on his second novel.
