About the author

Stephen L France

My name is Stephen Leslie France. 

I was born in Central London on 16.10.1984. I'd made a VOW when I was 15 that if life wasn't working out by the time I hit 25, I would leave the country and start again...

And you are most welcome to send me an email at stephen@wantingnothing.com so we can get to know each other. 

The absolute truth is it was hard to write my debut novel The Paradise Induction, which follows a fictionalised version of the fulfilment of this vow. 

As you might have gathered by the time you've read TPI, the true story behind this novel is my own; all the feelings and thoughts were very real at the time. 

I didn't enjoy my five years living in the Caribbean...at all. 

When I returned to London on Dec 22, 2014, a lot of wisdom got dropped upon me in the subsequent years. 

I wanted to forget the five years I'd spent in the Caribbean and walk away like it never happened. 

But the 'Man Upstairs' told me I not only had a duty of care to share this experience. It was an obligation. 

Living in the Caribbean was part of what made me who I am today and the trials and temptations couldn't be relegated to the void. 

So, I hope you somehow enjoy The Paradise Induction, although 'enjoy' just doesn't seem like the fitting word.
