Steven Kedie

Steven Kedie is a writer who was born and raised in Manchester, where he still lives with his wife and their two sons. A man of simple pleasures, his great loves are sport, music and books.

His novel, Running and Jumping, about the rivalry between two athletes, set across eight years and three Olympic Games, is published by Wire Books.

Steven is the co-founder of the music website eightalbums.co.uk – a site where people write about albums that are important to them and why. Steven’s choices included Oasis, Bruce Springsteen and Arctic Monkeys, which tells you all you need to know about his tastes.

Steven has backpacked around Europe and ran a marathon, although his greatest challenge has been coaching a kid’s football team – something that occupies a large portion of his time and brain space.

His limited remaining spare time is spent running, drinking too much coffee, and eating too much dark chocolate.
