ABOUT STEPHEN
“One day I broke out of the office and went for a long walk across Spain.
After that everything changed for me.”
Stephen R. Marriott is a bestselling independent author inspired by travel. He grew up in Portishead in the West Country of England. Stephen has worked in stockbroking in the City of London and has visited 50+ countries. His writing career began in 2012 when he broke out of the office and took a long walk across Spain and discovered his creative spirit. When Stephen's not travelling he splits his time between the West Country and London.
ON THE ROAD WITH STEPHEN R. MARRIOTT
That Spanish walk, or rather pilgrimage, is known as the Camino de Santiago – a historical month-long trek that begins in the foothills of the Pyrenees and ends in the city of Santiago de Compostela, in North West Spain. A common greeting on the Camino is “Buen Camino,” which means good path, though its significance is much deeper. It's an acknowledgement that a person is seeking their best WAY in life – their true reason for being. This mysterious road, and the people Stephen met on the way, changed his outlook on the world and inspired him to write a novella – Candyfloss Guitar, book 1 in the Reluctant Pilgrim series.
Writing and travel have become inseparable parts of Stephen’s life. Travel driven by curiosity and a deep desire to see the world and truly understand its people; the writing, because these experiences now form the heartbeat of his creative process – sparking story ideas and grounding his research in real places and cultures. So expect most of Stephen’s books to whisk you away to exotic and far-flung corners of the globe.
Next up? Quite possibly a spy thriller series...
