Kerry Wilkinson's novel is outselling Stephen Fry
Tuesday August 9,2011
By Daily Express Reporter
THE hottest new author in Britain wrote his debut novel on his days off – at Express Newspapers, publishers of your Daily Express.
Kerry Wilkinson, 30, uploaded his thriller Locked In to internet sites iBooks and Amazon to assess reaction.
It shot to number 20 in Apple’s iBooks chart and 10 in its crime-and-thriller category in just over a week, despite him having no book deal, publisher or agent.
Kerry, of Preston, Lancs, wrote the novel in three months and it is outselling Twilight’s Stephenie Meyer, John Grisham, Stephen Fry and Roald Dahl.
The sports journalist and magistrate said: “I am speechless about it – I never anticipated it would do so well.
“Turning 30 was the real spur for me to do something different with my evenings and spare time.”
