Danny Kemp
When I was nineteen years of age I graduated to become a fully fledged Metropolitan Police Constable, prior to that I was merely playing at it by being a Cadet. During the two and a bit years I spent in the junior ranks as an understudy to the real thing, I enjoyed adventures and pastimes many would envy. I went Rock Climbing in North Wales, Orienteering for two days across The Brechin Beacons with nothing except a compass, a map and two bars of chocolate. I took part in the Devizes to Westminster Canoe Race and jumped willingly into every brawl or domestic disturbance that I could possibly find. I also, when time allowed, played Rugby and cricket, seeming every day. At nineteen that excitement changed. The very first week after exchanging the flat blue banded cap into the ‘Bobby’s Helmet’ I was posted, with hundreds of other’s, to protect the American Embassy against Anti- Vietnam War protesters. There in Grosvenor Square I had a sudden wake up. Marbles and darts were thrown at us with no redress to retaliation or protection other than the normal, everyday uniform that we wore and the occasional sortie into the throng to arrest ring-leaders. Today I drove passed the American Embassy and although those days in the late ’60 were horrendous, the sight of the necessary machine pistoled Police officers on the streets is worse. The world takes a long time to improve, and an even longer time to rid itself of zealots who think nothing of anything but themselves in their continued pursuit of violence to effect change.

About Daniel Kemp
Daniel Kemp is a member of The Society of Authors. His introduction to the world of espionage and mystery happened at an early age when his father was employed by the War Office in Whitehall, London, at the end of WWII. However, it wasn’t until after his father died that he showed any interest in anything other than himself!
On leaving academia he took on many roles in his working life: a London police officer, mini-cab business owner, pub tenant and licensed London taxi driver, but never did he plan to become a writer. Nevertheless, after a road traffic accident left him suffering from PTSD and effectively—out of paid work for four years, he wrote and self-published his first novel —The Desolate Garden. Within three months of publication, that book was under a paid option to become a $30 million film. The option lasted for five years until distribution became an insurmountable problem for the production company.
All ten of his novels are now published by CNext Chapter with the tenth novel being a two-part ending to the Heirs and Descendants Series. A Covenant of Spies completed the four-book series alongside: What Happened In Vienna, Jack? Once I Was A Soldier and A Widow's Son.
Under the Creativia publishing banner, The Desolate Garden went on to become a bestselling novel in World and Russian Literature in 2017. The following year, in May 2018, his book What Happened In Vienna, Jack? was a number-one bestseller on four separate Amazon sites: America, the UK, Canada, and Australia.
Although it's true to say that he mainly concentrates on what he knows most about; murders laced by the mystery involving spies, his diverse experience of life shows in the two novellas he wrote, namely: Why? A Complicated Love, and the intriguing story titled--The Story That Had No Beginning.
He is the recipient of rave reviews from a prestigious Manhattan publication and described as—the new Graham Green—by a highly placed employee of Waterstones Books, for whom he did a countrywide tour of book signing events. He has also appeared on 'live' television in the UK publicising his first novel.
There is no morality to be found in evil. But to recognise that which is truly evil one must forget the rules of morality.
