Authors - Harry Bowling

Harry BowlingHarry Bowling was born in Bermondsey, London, and left school at fourteen to supplement the family income as an office boy in a riverside provisions’ merchant.

He was called up for National Service in the 1950s. Before becoming a writer, he was variously employed as a lorry driver, milkman, meat cutter, carpenter and decorator, and community worker.

He lived with his wife and family, dividing his time between Lancashire and Deptford.

We at Headline are sorry to say that THE WHISPERING YEARS was Harry Bowling's last novel, as he very sadly died in February 1999. We worked with him for over ten years, ever since the publication of his first novel, CONNER STREET'S WAR, and we miss him enormously, as do his many, many fans around the world.

The Harry Bowling Prize is aimed at encouraging new, unpublished fiction and is sponsored by Headline. Click here for more information.
