Tony Auffret is the author of the novels 'The Death of A Smoker' and 'Unsavoury Business.' Tony says: "Growing up in a one parent family on a northern council estate, I was lucky enough to make it to university, when most kids didn't, thanks to a full student grant. A joint honours degree in botany and chemistry was followed by a PhD in molecular biology. Professionally, I became a bit of a nomad by dint of fixed term contracts and serial redundancies. Along the way I worked in academia and industry, alongside Nobel laureates, and in companies ranging in size from a two-man business to multinational conglomerates, and co-authored a scientific text book.

"A third formal redundancy persuaded me to start my own consultancy business in the area of freeze drying. As that business began to wind down, and as a carer for my late wife who had a chronic pain issue, I found myself looking for something to do in the mornings. I had always thought that the events that happened during my time with a small biopreservation start-up company would make a good story one day, and I took the opportunity to write my first novel, The Death of a Smoker (Cranthorpe Millner Publishers, 28 June 2022). Unable to find a satisfactory way of dealing with the suspected villain, I allowed him to escape. Unsavoury Business picks up the tale and the trail, four years later."
