The crime writer has been with his wife for almost four decades. He appreciates that she was always there for him – even when things didn’t go so well, he says in an interview.
The British bestselling author Simon Beckett (“The Chemistry of Death”) owes his success, in his own words, to his wife.
“I would never have made it without my wife Hilary. We have been a couple for almost 40 years, and she always had confidence in my abilities as an author, even after many frustrating rejection of my manuscripts, ”reports the 61-year-old in the current“ Playboy ”August issue.
Beckett made his breakthrough in 2006 with the thriller “The Chemistry of Death”. «The Lost» (Wunderlich Verlag) was recently published. “Hilary gave me courage, confirmed me and supported me,” he told the magazine. When my career was just beginning, it contributed significantly more to our household incomes than I did. That was never an issue between us, it was a matter of course. I am infinitely grateful to her for this support, ”said Beckett.
