Boris Starling is an award-winning journalist, novelist, and screenwriter with more than eight crime fiction works to his name.

He published “Messiah” his debut fiction work in 1999 and has since gone on to pen more than half a dozen works in addition to his many nonfiction works too.

Starling has since had many of his novels make the New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling lists.

The author made his fiction writing debut when his English teacher noted that the short story he penned was very intricate for an eight-year-old.

It happens that he had copied most of it from the work “Prisoners of the Sun” by Herge the Belgian cartoonist. After he was severely reprimanded, he made it his mission to learn how to write stories.
In his teenage years, he attended Trinity College Cambridge where he got his History degree. Following his graduation, he worked for several Fleet Street publications before he was employed by Control Risks.
Control Risks is a company that provided risk assessment for companies with regard to political upheaval and terrorism and offers services ranging from kidnap resolution to confidential investigations.

Since Boris was such a reader most of his life and always had a vivid imagination, it was only natural that he would then gravitate toward creative pursuits.

In 1996, he went as far as the semi-finals of “Mastermind” the BBC Quiz show before dropping out.

After several years of trying to make it in the publishing world, he was sitting with friends one evening following a game of football when they started talking about the many book ideas they had.
Starling remembers thinking that out of all his friends, he was probably the only one that could get published and redoubled his efforts.

At this time, he was still working as a political risk consultant which took most of his time. He decided to go part-time for about half a year as he penned the manuscript for his debut work “Messiah.”
He is also the creator of the BBC1 franchise “Messiah,” which aired for seven years, and has written screenplays for productions in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Boris is also a regular writer for several newspapers and was a writer in residence at Thomas Hardy’s “House Max Gate.”

Boris Starlin currently makes his home in Dorset England alongside his interior designer wife and their children.

His elder sister is the author of “The Journal of Dora Damage,” which was posthumously published in 2007 in the US and the UK following her demise.
Starlin inherited male pattern baldness fromhs granfather and very little of his prodigious height.

When he is not writing his novels he is a keen sportsman, even though he is now old enough that experience and enthusiasm usually trump pure skill.
