R.A. Powell is an exciting children's author who loves nothing more than writing family adventure stories with cracking characters and multiple layers to the narrative.
Based in Hertfordshire, R.A. Powell still has a day job and wrote both 'Odd Socks' and 'CEO' on his smartphone during his daily commute into London. His writing influences are a mixture of Roald Dahl, Carolyn Keene & CJ Sansom along with other passions and experiences in his life; music, volunteering, politics, running marathons; all with a heavy dose of references to classic 80's and 90's films and his favourite bands.
​R.A Powell was formerly lead singer of Cinemawave (available on Spotify) and is a super proud husband to his wife and head-over-heels-in-love (and knackered) father to his son and daughter.
​Odd Socks was a finalist in The People's Book Prize 2019.
