Adam Croft

Writing

Croft has written more than twenty books, including the Knight & Culverhouse crime thrillers and Kempston Hardwick mysteries. He appeared on the USA Today bestseller list twice, with the Kempston Hardwick box set and his 2015 psychological thriller Her Last Tomorrow.^[5][6] Although he had been writing and self-publishing professionally for five years when Her Last Tomorrow was released, it was this book that brought him international attention.^[7][8] He has also had several plays published with Lazy Bee Scripts.^[9]

As an advocate of self-publishing, he has often spoken out about the negative sides of traditional publishing^[10] and in 2012 he denounced Sue Grafton's comments that self-publishing was disrespectful and lazy. ^[11]

He was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Arts by the University of Bedfordshire in March 2018 "in recognition of his outstanding services to literature".^[12]

In 2020, he announced he was launching a new crime series set in Rutland.^[13]

Adam Croft lives in Flitwick, Bedfordshire.^[7]
