Lewin grew up in Indianapolis though he hasn’t lived there since graduating from high school in 1960. He’s made his home in England since 1971, currently in central Bath – an outrageously beautiful little city.
He became a full time writer in 1969. His first mystery novel appeared in 1971 and he has written more than twenty books as well as short stories, and plays for radio and the stage. His novels and stories have won a number of prizes.
His daughter, Liz, and son, Roger, grew up in England and thrive in diverse areas of the arts. Their father is enormously proud of them both. His granddaughter, Aimee, is currently a physics undergrad (but sings and plays the guitar) and his grandson, Simon, is in secondary school and is, currently, an expert on the London underground and covers his ears when his dad plays the piano. Their grandfather is enormously proud of them both too.
Mike’s sister, Julie Lewin, is a renowned animal advocate who lives in Connecticut and has written a brilliant book about how to change laws. Their mother, Iris Francis, became a social worker in middle age after a long history of social activism. She and her family sprang from Indiana. Their father, Leonard C. Lewin, finally became a writer in middle age and was author of the internationally successful social satire, Report From Iron Mountain. He was born in New York to parents from Iowa and Ukraine.
As well as writing, Mike gardens on his patio, sings in a community choir, and tries to keep ambulatory.
