Simon Rowell is a bestselling Australian crime mystery author, who was born in Adelaide, South Australia.

A graduate of both the University of South Australia and Flinders University, Simon’s fiction centres on the interplay between culture, morality and truth, which was first explored within the bestselling novel, "The Echo of Others". The book was listed for the Ned Kelly Award, Australia's pre-eminent crime literature award, for Best First Crime novel.

His second work, "The Long Game", was published by Text Publishing in 2021.

“Wild Card”, the sequel to “The Long Game”, was released in early 2023.

Simon is currently working on “The Good Dog”, which will be published by Text Publishing in early 2024.

Before he’d turned 25, Simon had worked on outback oil fields, managed hotels, and was a tour guide, before he embarked on a 20-year career in corporate branding throughout Australia.

He and his wife, Karen, share their home on the Fleurieu Peninsula with a farm full of rescued animals (cows, sheep, chickens and dogs) and a large collection of books.
