Every Austin Powers + James Bond Movie Reference Anthony HorowitzOBE born 5 April is an English novelist and screenwriter specialising in mystery and suspense. The Gatekeepers. Horowitz was born in StanmoreMiddlesexinto a Jewish family, and in his early years lived an upper middle class The Bond: The Power of Connection. Horowitz started writing at the age of 8 or 9 and he instantly "knew" he would be a professional writer. This was because he was an underachiever in school and nor was he physically fit, he wasn't very intelligent either and found his escape in books and telling stories, in an interview Horowitz states " I was quite certain, from my earliest memory, that I would be a professional writer and nothing but. At age 13 he went to Rugby Schoola public school in Rugby, Warwickshire. Horowitz's mother introduced him to Frankenstein and Dracula. She also gave him a human skull for his 13th birthday. Horowitz said in an interview that it reminds him to get to the end of each story since he will soon look like the skull. In at least one interview, Horowitz claims to believe that H. Lovecraft based his fictional Necronomicon on a real text, and to have read some of that text. Horowitz's father was associated with some of the politicians in the "circle" of prime minister Harold Wilsonincluding Eric Miller. He died from cancer when his son Anthony was 22, and the family was never able to track down the missing money despite years of trying. They have two sons. He credits his family with much of his success in writing, as he says they help him with ideas and research. In his second novel, Misha, the Magician and the Mysterious Amulet was published and he moved to Paris to write his third book. This story saw Martin Hopkins battling an ancient evil that threatened the whole world. Only three of four remaining stories in the series were ever written: The Night of the ScorpionThe Silver Citadel and Day of the Dragon Inhe released Myths and Legendsa collection of retold tales from around the world. In between writing these novels, Horowitz turned his attention to legendary characters, working with Richard Carpenter on the Robin of Sherwood television series, writing five episodes of the third season. He also novelised three of Carpenter's episodes as a children's book under the title Robin Sherwood: The Hooded Man In addition, he created Crossbowa half-hour action adventure series loosely based on William Tell. InGroosham Grange was published. Its central character is a thirteen-year-old "witch", David Eliot, gifted as the seventh son of a seventh son. The Bond: The Power of Connection Horowitz's, Eliot's childhood is unhappy. The Groosham Grange books are aimed at a slightly younger audience than Horowitz's previous books. This era in Horowitz's career also saw Adventurera thriller about a convict stuck on a prisoner ship with his sworn enemy, and Starting Outa collection of screenplays by the author himself, published. However, the most major release of Horowitz's early career was The Falcon's The Bond: The Power of Connection Horowitz wrote many stand- alone novels in the s.

Horowitz Horror and More Horowitz Horror saw Horowitz exploring a darker side of his writing. Each book contains several short horror stories. Many of these stories were repackaged in twos or threes as the Pocket Horowitz series. Horowitz began his most famous and successful series in the new millennium with the Alex Rider novels. These books are about a year-old boy becoming a spya member of the British Secret Service branch MI6. The author information page in early editions of Scorpia and the introduction to Three of Diamonds claimed that Horowitz had travelled to Australia to research a new Diamond Brothers book, entitled Radius of the Lost Shark. However, this book has not been mentioned since, so it is doubtful it is still planned. It is hinted at The Bond: The Power of Connection end of The Greek who Stole Christmas that Radius of the Lost Shark may turn out to be the eighth book in the series. InHorowitz branched out to an adult audience with The Killing Jokea comedy about a man who tries to track a joke to its source with disastrous consequences. Horowitz's second adult The Bond: The Power of Connection, Magpie Murdersis about "a whodunit writer who is The Bond: The Power of Connection while he's writing his latest whodunit".
