Following more than a decade of writing theological essays and tutorials for PC game level design, Simon turned his attention to the world of fiction. In 2010, his short story Crimson Lakes was chosen as New Year feature story at Dark Fire, and he followed up with Amiko, which was published in Eternal Night: A Vampire Anthology, Star God in This Mutant life magazine, and a string of short stories at Colored Chalk, Absent Willow Review, Rotten Leaves and Thunderdome. His debut novel 'The Soul Consortium' was published by Medallion Press in July 2012. Simon lives in Essex, England working alongside his wife as a Clinical Trials scientist.
