Simon Doyle (he/him) was born and raised in County Limerick, Ireland. He discovered that he could travel the world on a shoestring by reading books at a very young age. When he won a local poetry competition at the age of nine, it sparked a lifetime love of words. But he swears never to write poetry again. His first novel release is Runaway Train, book 1 of the Runaway Bay series. He lives with three cats, two dogs, and Lucas, his human soulmate. They met in kindergarten. Where all good stories begin.
