Eddy Shah is a businessman founder of newspaper and author of literary fiction from the United Kingdom. He went to school at Gordonstoun Scotland before he went to Grammar School at Haywards Heath. While he was a very good student that got good grades, he had disciplinary issues and was expelled from several schools before he managed to attain his O levels. Even though he did not go to college, he had a lifelong passion for reading and books since he had been reading and writing from a very young age. Once he graduated, he started working in television and theater before he got into journalism. He would then go into business and after more than sixteen years as a publisher he had accumulated a portfolio of more than 60 newspapers the most popular of which was “Today” that he launched in 1986. Eddy is married to former actress and model Jennifer that famously appeared in “Casino Royale“ the original James Bond movie. They have been together for more than five decades and have three children together.

Fresh out of college, he got a job with the BBC as a stage manager for television and theater. He then moved to Granada, where he was instrumental in the making of classics such as “Softly Softly,” “Till Death Us Do Part,” and “Coronation Street” as floor manager. He got into the newspaper business as an entrepreneur after he was fired from the Manchester Evening News. Determined to make it, he had sold his own house to get the capital needed. Much of his success as a publisher and journalist can be traced to his creative and innovative nature. Over the years, he has been responsible for revolutionizing newspapers by bringing in new journalistic techniques and technologies through his papers. He also changed TV programming when he introduced peak time programs. In 1988, he no longer felt that he had any more to give to the newspaper industry and sold all of his newspaper empire. In 1989, an independent company named “Messenger TV” that was responsible for several blockbuster primetime series that aired on British television. While he achieved a lot of success with newspaper publishing and production, he always loved noir crime fiction from the nineties and eighties and always wanted to write someday.

Once he was done with business, Eddy Shah got back to his love for writing and in the 1990s, he published four novels. His debut novel was “Manchester Blue” that he published in 1993 that would become the first of the “Eddy Shah Retro Thrillers” series of novels. He took a long hiatus from writing and came back with the single standing novel “Second World” in 2008. He got the inspiration for the science and fantasy fiction story more than a decade ago but thought it too far ahead of its time and thus shelved it. 2008 proved just the right time for the futuristic, high tech action thriller that is set in a world of virtual reality very relevant to the modern-day. In addition to the novel he has also debuted another series titled “Rogue State.” The debut novel of the new series is titled “Terminate with Violence,” which tells of how the state controls the populace.
