Jeffrey Archer |
Jeffrey Archer is a bestselling British novelist, playwright and former politician.
He was born in London, brought up in Somerset, and educated at Wellington School, and Brasenose College, Oxford. After leaving Oxford, he was elected to the Greater London Council, and three years later at the age of 29, became Member of Parliament for Louth.
With a promising political career ahead of him, he invested heavily in a Canadian company called Aquablast, which went into liquidation. Left with massive debts and on the brink of bankruptcy, he resigned from the House of Commons.
Determined to pay his creditors in full, he sat to write down his first novel Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less, which became an instant hit. It was followed by a string of bestsellers such as Shall We Tell the President?, Kane and Abel, The Prodigal Daughter, First Among Equals, and eight others. Archer also wrote short stories, plays and non-fiction books such as The Prison Diaries, a searing account of his three weeks in high security prison, following a conviction for perjury.
His latest novel, A Prisoner of Birth has topped the bestseller lists around the world, and spent four weeks in the Top 10 on The New York Times Bestseller list.
While controversy has dogged Archer most of his adult life, Archer remains one of Britain's most popular most popular novelists.
