Anthony Etherington

A former shop manager, mental nurse and recruitment & development specialist, Anthony has written several teleplay pilots and audio plays as well as three feature length dramas. One of these, Yellow Dragon and the Red Fox, won Best Screenplay awards at the European Independent Film Festival and The International Film Festival of Wales in 2014. Two of his short scripts – Flotsam and Gemma’s War – have been filmed and are available to view on YouTube (see https://youtu.be/PTCZ7MFHqWE and https://youtu.be/9vBX0tsw0T4 ). 

Anthony’s books are inspired by his life-long interest in current affairs. His debut novel, mystery-thriller Europia, set in a near-future Romania, revolves around the life of a young woman with serious boyfriend troubles. Some Other Eden, his second novel, follows the events that unfold after a British businessman is kidnapped in Cairo in the run-up to the Egyptian Revolution in 2011.
