Steve Howell was born in Wallasey, brought up in London and now lives in Wales.
A graduate of Sheffield University, he worked as a campaigner, journalist and media consultant before focusing on writing.
His first novel, Over The Line, was published by Quaero in 2015 and republished by Accent Press in 2018.
In 2018, Accent Press also published Game Changer: Eight Weeks That Transformed British Politics, which tells the story of Labour’s 2017 election campaign from his perspective as a senior adviser to Jeremy Corbyn.
Collateral Damage, which was published in 2021, is his second novel. A political thriller, it draws from his experience of visiting Libya in 1987 and his discovery that his US-born father had been under FBI surveillance for 30 years for his political activities, without ever being charged of any offence.
Steve is a US-UK dual national. He has family, including five grandchildren, in both countries and lives in mid-Wales with his wife, Kim.
