Gregg Dunnett

Gregg Dunnett is a British author specializing in psychological thrillers and adventure stories, often set against coastal or oceanic backdrops. His notable works include the Amazon #1 bestsellers "The Wave at Hanging Rock" and "The Things You Find in Rockpools," the latter of which is currently in development for television adaptation. Another acclaimed title, "Little Ghosts," became an Audible #1 hit. His debut novel achieved widespread recognition, reaching the Amazon UK Top 100 and amassing over a quarter-million downloads.

Before becoming a novelist, Dunnett spent a decade as a journalist for a windsurfing magazine, an experience that deeply influenced his writing style and thematic focus. His career also included teaching English abroad, managing a sailing school in Egypt, and working in various other roles - from farm labor to local government. These diverse experiences, coupled with his passion for adventure, inform the atmospheric and often suspenseful tone of his fiction. His brother, Jono Dunnett, an accomplished adventurer, further inspired his creative pursuits, particularly after completing a solo windsurfing journey around Great Britain.

Currently residing in Spain with his family, Dunnett draws inspiration from the rugged Cantabrian mountains and the Atlantic coastline. His partner, María, translates his works into Spanish, while their two children and Labrador named Loki complete their household. Dunnett continues to balance his writing career with his love for outdoor pursuits, including surfing and windsurfing, which remain central to his storytelling.
