EMLYN REES is an author, editor and director of the Dark & Stormy Crime Film & Book Festival.

He spent his early twenties traveling around Asia and pouring drinks in London for the likes of Sylvester Stallone and Princess Anne, before joining the Curtis Brown literary agency and having his first crime novel published aged twenty-five, his second a year later, and then co-writing seven comedies with Josie Lloyd, including the Number One Sunday Times bestseller Come Together.

Emlyn’s last two thrillers, Hunted and Wanted, were published by Constable & Robinson in the UK and HarperCollins Witness in the US. Emlyn lives in Brighton with his wife Joanna Rees, who also writes under the name Josie Lloyd, and they recently co-authored the bestselling UK Christmas parody We’re Going on a Bar Hunt.
