T.M. Logan is a bestselling British writer of contemporary, thriller, and crime fiction stories. He is known to have written several mind-blowing standalone books in his career, including 29 Seconds, Lies, and The Holiday. Logan made his debut in the field of writing with his 2017 book called Lies. This thriller novel has sold over 400,000 printed copies and gathered more than 1,500 five-star reviews from various critics all over the world. It went on to become one of the biggest selling e-books on Amazon in the year of its publishing and also won a Nielson Bestseller Awards’ Silver Award. Along with his second thriller called 29 Seconds, Logan’s books are now published in over 15 countries of the world, including South Korea, Portugal, Serbia, USA, Italy, Poland, Romania, the Netherlands, Hungary, and Spain.

Author Logan was born to a German mother and an English father in Berkshire. He studied at Cardiff and Queen Mary universities and obtained his graduate degrees. Immediately after, Logan started working as a journalist at a national newspaper. Currently, he works as a full-time writer and resides in Nottinghamshire along with his wife and children. Logan has built a cabin for himself in his garden where he normally finds the quiet and peace to work on his novels. He says that he has been writing fiction for a long time, but didn’t think seriously about getting his work published. It was only after he hit his mid-30s that he began to take it seriously with the intention of becoming a published author. Subsequently, Logan started devoting a proper amount of time for his writing work and pushed towards finishing a full-length book. His first work of fiction is still left unpublished.

Logan believes that even though unpublished, the novel gave him an opportunity to learn a lot while he was writing it. Thereby, he was able to put his experience and learning into writing his next books. Logan enjoyed the overall process of writing during the initial days of his career as it taught him valuable lessons about character development, pacing, plot development, and the editing process. He even learned how to interact with the audience and use their feedback to improve his skills. One thing that helped him very much in particular in writing his second book was that he got into the habit of looking at his story from the perspective of a reader. As Logan is a father and husband himself, it has had a huge influence on him and his character-developments. Being the father of two teenage kids is considered by him as the most formative aspect of his life. He also thinks that it runs deep into everything he is related to, including his writing.

The authors whose works have influenced him the most include Roald Dahl, C.S. Lewis, Enid Blyton, Ursula Le Guin, Robert C. O’Brien, Richard Adams, JRR Tolkien, Philip K. Dick, Aldous Huxley, Stephen King, etc. Among the authors of thriller novels, Logan tends to read the works of Bill Beverly and Gillian Flynn a lot. Spending eight years in the field of journalism has also helped Logan’s writing career in many ways. It taught him to respect the audience and use words to connect with people rather than drifting away from them. His former career has also taught him the value of time and the importance of finishing his work before the deadline. Author Logan is quite happy with the immense response he has received for his books across the globe. He hopes to keep getting the love of the readers for all his future books and become a more successful author.
