Notă biografică
Alan Gold was born and educated in England, trained as a journalist for a major newspaper in the Midlands before becoming a reporter-at-large in the USA, Europe and the Middle East writing for international newspapers and magazines. While in Israel to cover the conflicts between Israelis and Palestinians, he met his Czech-born wife, Eva, and travelled with her to her home in Australia to get married. He became a financial journalist, marketing consultant to financial and banking institutions and political commentator before writing books. His first was a little work about his wife's pregnancy, and the second was a college textbook on marketing. But fiction was always his greatest love, and journalism and marketing are wonderful training grounds for a life as a story-teller. His first novel was a story which he uncovered working for Reuters International News Agency in Israel; because of its controversial themes, he didn't write it until going to Australia. The Jericho Files, which was published by HarperCollins was an international success. Since then, he's written over thirty novels, with subjects ranging from the Bible to ancient and modern history. His two latest novels are The Devil's Apprentice, a fictionalised autobiography of the real Faust and his problems with the invention of the printing press, and His Head on a Platter, about the life of the Renaissance artist Artemisia Gentileschi both published by Romaunce Books. Both are currently under negotiations with cable networks in the States to be made into television series. And his just-released novel, Lady of the Night is a story about truth in fiction and fiction in truth. It was inspired by the unexpected rise to power of Donald Trump in America and his ability to repeatedly lie and persuade so many Americans that he was telling the truth. The Nazi Minister for Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels said, "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it," and this is the basis of my new novel.
