Young Cleavage Biography
Born in Christchurch, Cleave worked as a pawnbroker for seven years before he turned his full attention to being writer. He had previously written a couple of unpublished manuscripts, penning his first unpublished novel as a 19-year-old, and since his earliest days at school he wanted to be a writer.[1]
Although he had wanted to be a writer since he was a child, he did not receive very good feedback about his writing from teachers or his high school report cards, with one stating there was a time and place for his kind of writing, and school was not it.[2]
At nineteen, Cleave was writing novel-length manuscripts that "will never be allowed out of the bottom drawer". He spent several years working as a pawnbroker, working on various unpublished novels in his spare time.[3]
[edit]Writing

A year before leaving his job as a pawnbroker he began work on what would become his first two published novels, The Killing Hour and The Cleaner.[4]
His first published novel, The Cleaner, was released by Random House in 2006 and became an international bestseller with sales exceeding 250,000.[5] It was the top-selling crime/thriller title for 2007 on Amazon in Germany. It was also shortlisted for the Ned Kelly Awards for Crime Writing.[6]
His second novel, The Killing Hour was published in 2007, and his third, Cemetery Lake in 2008. In September 2008, Cleave appeared on a crime writing panel at The Press Christchurch Writers Festival alongside fellow New Zealand crime writer Vanda Symon and acclaimed British author Mark Billingham.[7]
In September 2009, Cleave's novel Cemetery Lake was published in the United Kingdom by Arrow Books. When talking about setting his books in Christchurch in an article in Crime Time magazine, Cleave said: "Christchurch is a great setting for crime – it has two sides to it, there's the picture perfect setting you see on postcards everywhere, but there's also a dark, Gotham City feel here which has, sadly, turned this city into the murder capital of New Zealand. I love making Christchurch a character for the books, creating an 'alternate' version of the city, where the main character often muses that 'Christchurch is broken'."[8]
His fourth novel, Blood Men, was released in February 2010.[9]
In 2011, Paul was nominated as a finalist in the Ngaio Marsh Best Crime Novel Award, alongside fellow authors, Neil Cross, Paddy Richardson, and Greg Mckee aka Alix Bosco. Paul won the award for the book Blood Men which was released in 2010.[10]
His fifth novel, entitled Collecting Cooper (2011), is again set in his home town of Christchurch (the setting for all his novels) and sees the return of Theodore Tate, who was introduced in Cemetery Lake.
His sixth novel, The Laughterhouse (2012), features Theodore Tate tracking down a crime that started 15 years earlier when he was a rookie officer.

[edit]Reviews

"Most people come back from New Zealand talking about the breathtaking scenery and the amazing experiences. I came back raving about Paul Cleave. These are stories that you won’t forget in a while: relentlessly gripping, deliciously twisted and shot through with a vein of humour that’s as dark as hell. Cleave creates fictional monsters as chilling and as charming as any I’ve ever come across. Anyone who likes their crime fiction on the black and bloody side should move Paul Cleave straight to the top of their must-read list." Mark Billingham, award-winning crime writer
