About the Author

PD Simpson

Paul was born in Lancashire and studied Architecture in Liverpool, UK. During his studies, a tour to Florence, Italy, sparked a lifelong fascination with the Roman Empire. His career in retail property has taken him across the globe, providing rich backdrops for his novels, beginning with his debut, The Moroccan Manuscript.

​

The COVID lockdown offered Paul the opportunity to fulfil his long-held ambition to write. His monthly column in assetmag.co.za inspired his first non-fiction book, Walk a Mall in My Shoes, later updated post-COVID as Walk (Another) Mall in My Shoes! and followed by Good Goods Sell Ass End Upwards?

​

Paul lives in Cape Town, South Africa, with his wife Jan. They have two adult children: Stephen, a professional race car driver based in the USA, and Natalie, a Marketing Consultant in the UK.
