Kyle Perry’s debut novel, The Bluffs, has been translated into six languages (German, Czech, Dutch, Romanian, Estonian and Russian). It was shortlisted for the Dymocks Book of the Year and the Indie’s Debut Fiction Book of the Year, and was longlisted for the Australian Book Industry Awards’ General Fiction Book of the Year. The Bluffs was awarded the Winner of the Dutch Thrillzone Awards in 2021 (Best Translated Thriller). Kyle’s second novel, The Deep, has also been published internationally and attracted critical acclaim and his third title, The Wild, will be published in October 2022.

The Bluffs has been optioned by First Option Pictures.

Kyle’s books are perfect for adaptation – cinematic in scope, a narrative drive full of twists, turns and cliffhangers, and characters that reflect an Australian underbelly while focusing on family dynamics, at their best and worst. Kyle’s growing international profile adds a layer of worldwide interest to either a film or television adaptation.
