Giles has led a varied life to say the least. During the 90s he was lead singer of pop group Upside Down, achieving four top twenty hit records, performing twice on Top of the Pops, and singing for HRH Prince Charles at the Royal Albert Hall. As a singer songwriter he lived and toured for two years in Europe and has made music videos all over the world, from Prague, Mexico, and the Swiss Alps, to Bognor Regis. He has worked as a model, appearing in TV commercials and ads for the likes of Walls Ice Cream (he was the Magnum Man) Canon cameras and two brands of lager! More recently, he has been an advertising copywriter and lived for two and a half years in New York, writing for electrical giant JVC and movie marketing company Empire Design. Currently, he is working on the second novel of his RAVEN series, a thundering story of a boy who becomes part of a Fellowship of fierce Norse warriors in AD802. Being half Norwegian Giles had always been passionate about Viking history and has always known he would write this story. His first novel, RAVEN - Blood Eye, will be published in January by Bantam Press.
