Career
He has been described by Penny Wark of The Times as "one of the United Kingdom"s best ghostwriters."
Thurlow worked as the English editor of the Athens News under Yannis Horn during the last years of the Regime of the Colonels (1967–1974). He was "asked" to leave the country when he reported on the anti-Junta speech given at the University by German author Günter Grass, who was held briefly under house arrest. He traded gemstones in South East Asia and ran a travelling dolphin show in Spain before moving to Hollywood, where he penned Carol White"s autobiography Carol Comes Home.
Thurlow is noted for creating novelised-style true-life memoirs.
Thurlow"s Runaway (Simon & Schuster), 2013), Emily Mackenzie"s story of life as a child prostitute in London"s Soho in the early 1970s, spent 5 weeks in the Sunday Times Top Ten best-seller lists. Published in the wake of the Jimmy Savile (1926-2011) child abuse scandal, Runaway was seen as having made an important contribution to the debate on Britain"s woefully lacking child care system.
In 2011, Thurlow became a director of www.yellowbay.co.uk, a publishing house dedicated to "edgy, daring and radical new writing". First digital/print-on-demand publications include Kindle bestselling trilogy The Killer 1,2 & 3, by Jack Elgos, Thurlow"s novel Cocaine Confidence and David Pick"s Mistress
May: A PsychoSexual Odyssey.
