Angelo Marcos is a writer, actor and stand-up comedian, who for some reason refers to himself in the third person.

He writes psychological thrillers and crime fiction, often with a dash of humour thrown in for good measure.

Drawing on his background in law and psychology, he crafts memorable characters and suspenseful mysteries which shine a light on human behaviour and why people do what they do.

See? I told you he refers to himself in the third person...

You can create whatever world you want, populated by whoever and whatever you want. And anything can happen there too – although obviously within the confines and internal logic of that world.

It’s definitely the ‘creating’ aspect of writing that I love. Then comes the rewriting/editing stage, which is much harder to love…(less)

I would definitely say, make sure that you don’t publish anything until it’s ready.

I’ve heard of a couple of people who self-published and then withdrew their books so they could change the endings, which is really bad for the poor readers who bought the unfinished versions.

I think it’s important to remember that whatever you produce will have your name on it - forever, essentially - so it’s vital to make sure it’s the best you can make it.

Oh, and coffee. Lots and lots of coffee.(less)

Defence Mechanism – sequel to Victim Mentality – is out now!

Since Victim Mentality came out, people have been asking me if/when there will be a sequel. It’s taken a long time (partly due to Covid, partly due to writing other books), but I am pleased to announce that Defence Mechanism is out now! it’s deliberately written as a sequel but also a standalone book, so … Continue reading Defence Mechanism – sequel to Victim Mentality – is out now!

“Comedy is just anger with a dash of humour thrown in to cover the rage”
Angelo Marcos, Victim Mentality

“Nick, the best thing with this – with everything – is to accept it. Don’t fight against it, don’t deny it. Sometimes, you've got to just take the hit. Let me tell you something everybody seems to forget. Sometimes the good guys win. Bad things happen to good people, yeah, but bad things also happen to bad people. And good things happen to good people too. Don't let life beat that truth out of you.”
Angelo Marcos, Defence Mechanism

“The bigger question here is about whether you will do what you need to do if it comes down to it. You seem to think aggression belongs to people like me, not realising the same anger runs through your veins. It burns sometimes, doesn't it?”
Angelo Marcos, Defence Mechanism

“It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.”
Herman Melville

“If you come to a fight thinking it will be a fair one, you didn't come prepared.”
F. Paul Wilson

“Comedy is the blues for people who can’t sing.”
Chris Rock

“There is freedom waiting for you,
On the breezes of the sky,
And you ask "What if I fall?"
Oh but my darling,
What if you fly?”
Erin Hanson

“Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
