Bryan J Mason

Bryan J Mason

03/06/2025 by Bryan Mason

Bryan J Mason wrote his first novel in 1989 but concluded he was a failed author after failing to get it published. It was finally published in 2021 over thirty years since the first draft.

He is a History graduate and says his favoured period is ‘the past’.

He has worked as a financial investigator, a mediator and made sound effects for BBC Radio, and is now a full-time crime writer. As well as crime writing Bryan writes regular theatre reviews for StageTalk Magazine and Bristol 24/7 and directs the renowned Hotwells Pantomime.

He is currently writing a black comedy crime series set in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, and has so far not ventured beyond 1990.

He is a member of the Crime Writers Association and lives in Bristol with his wife and has two children in their twenties. He enjoys swimming, eating out, and the theatre, but is is never happier than when hanging around in graveyards, which he thinks might come in handy one day.
