Paul J. Teague
Paul Teague was born in Kent, raised in Lincolnshire, and has lived in Cumbria, Spain, Humberside, and Lancashire.

Paul’s worked as a shopkeeper, primary school teacher, waiter, a disc jockey and a radio broadcaster and journalist for the BBC.

He wrote his first book at the age of nine, which was called “Mr. Plum and Mr. Apple”. The hand written story got the inevitable rejection note from Penguin Books, however that never stopped him dabbling with writing throughout his life. He’s written plays, short stories, letters for magazines, and hundreds of web articles, even a few self-published books on marketing, just never a full-length fiction book.

Paul’s read thrillers his entire life, beginning with Enid Blyton’s “Famous Five” series as a kid, then graduating to Harlan Coben, James Hadley Chase, Mark Edwards, and Linwood Barclay.

Paul began writing thrillers with “Don’t Tell Meg” being the first trilogy he wrote, and it draws upon his eighteen year career in radio journalism. It is high action, fast moving, and a tad racy in spots, but he had a ton of fun writing the story.

It is just when he meets Ellie Turner, a television reporter, during a working weekend away from home that he succumbs to her charms in one moment of weakness. These treacherous actions set off a series of events that is fueled by revenge, hatred, violence, and jealousy.

Five people are going to lose their lives as a result of Pete’s deception and he’s going to be compelled to confront the ugly truth about his wife and Jem, his best friend.

Pete, teaming up with his former lover and TV friend, Alex Kennedy, goes in search of the truth about Meg and hurtles headlong into quite the tangled up mess along the way.
