Hello, I'm Keith A Pearson
Bestselling author of fantastical fiction — if you're looking to escape the world for a while, you're in the right place…
Britain's most underrated author. Full stop.
One of the few authors whose books I can read more than once.
Pearson has the uncanny ability to make the reader believe the unbelievable.
If you haven't read Keith A Pearson yet, you're in for an absolute treat.
So many incredible stories, so many unforgettable characters.
I write novels about ordinary people colliding with extraordinary circumstances. Some involve time travel. Some feature mysterious strangers who turn up and change people's lives. One is about a man who genuinely believes he's from another planet. They're all a bit different, but the common threads are humour, heart and, most importantly, complete escapism from this crazy world we occupy.
Quite unbelievably, I've somehow sold over a million books since publishing my debut, The '86 Fix, in 2016. Every one of my twenty-plus novels is available in ebook, paperback, and audiobook, and they're all included in Kindle Unlimited.
If you're new here and not sure where to start, I've put together a guide to help you choose your first book. If you'd like an email when my next novel is ready, subscribe here. Whatever you click next, happy browsing, and thanks for dropping by.
