About Jeremy Elson

Jeremy Elson tells us a bit about his life, motivation, and stories.

I was born and raised in Guildford, Surrey, and still, live and work locally.

Over the years, my work has brought me into contact with an abundance of interesting people, some of whom have been the inspiration behind the characters in my book.

Apart from writing, my passions include the outdoors, The Smiths, Chelsea Football Club, and Star Wars Battlefront (apart from when my son comprehensively beats me!)

Although I went to school, I found that most of my education went on outside the classroom. Learning things that I was interested in, away from normal lessons, was far more valuable.

Now I home educate my son – or rather, my wife does.

Don’t let anyone tell you it’s a breeze. It’s the toughest yet most rewarding job anyone can have. It has craft, soul, and emotion. It is undertaken from the heart.

Frank Penny was borne out of my desire to bring to life a home educated child and tell a straightforward and compelling adventure story.

Bringing these together has allowed me to present an exciting mystery to you, of which Frank Penny and the Mystery of Ludlow Hums was just the first in the series. Now Frank Penny and the Kzarlac Spy continues the story. I hope you will identify with him or one of his friends.

Although the Excelsus academy only takes special and specific talents, we must believe that every child is special. Every child deserves the freedom to explore what they like when they like, and for however long they like.

What is the point of your education if not to set you free?
