Renowned writer & TV producer Howard Sounes reveals fascinating stories behind his best-selling biographies on Bob Dylan, Sir Paul McCartney, Moors murderer Myra Hindley, serial killers Fred and Rose West, and more.
His latest book is based on exclusive access to 100 hours of Fred West’s police interviews which he helped turn into Netflix documentary series ‘Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story’ – watched by more than 100 million people.
Howard dreamt of becoming a writer from the age of seven, fascinated by the life of his hero Winston Churchill. After a stint as a newspaper reporter, working for Piers Morgan on the Sunday Mirror, he quit Fleet Street in a bold, impulsive moment and realised his dream.
