"Howard Sounes"/South East London, England) is a British nationality law/British author, journalist and biographer.

Howard Sounes began his career as a newspaper journalist as a staff reporter for the Sunday Mirror. He broke major stories concerning one of the most notorious murder cases in British criminal history, that of Fred West and Rosemary West. Sounes reported that the house at 25 Cromwell Street Gloucester was the grave (burial)/grave site of nine young women, with more victims nearby. He went on to report the case for the Sunday and Daily Mirror, and at the conclusion of the trial he published his book Fred & Rose which went on to be one of the most widely read true crime books in recent history.

Sounes' interests however were far broader and cultural and he turned his attention to writing the biography of American poet, novelist and short-story writer Charles Bukowski becoming so engrossed in the subject that he resigned his position with his paper to devote himself to the project.
