Malta-based author Mark Grenside to appear at renowned UK literary festival

Mark Grenside, the Malta-based author of critically acclaimed thriller novel Fall Out, is soon set to make an appearance at this year’s FT Weekend Oxford Literary Festival.

In an interview with BBC presenter, political commentator and former LBC radio host Matthew Stadlen, Grenside will share his inspiration for Fall Out and chat about his life and career as a thriller author, television and film producer with some of the biggest names in Hollywood, and his role as a serial entrepreneur.

Having worked in insurance – specialising in kidnap, ransom and extortion – Grenside switched careers to entertainment. His eclectic career has since included working for Jim Henson and The Muppets, creating and producing several television series, arranging the $250 million buyout of the Hallmark Channel International, and co-founding Dragonfly Biosciences and two digital companies.
