In the early years of his career, Pearson worked on various newspapers including The Economist, The Times, and The Sunday Times – on which he was an assistant to Ian Fleming. He went on to write the first biography of Ian Fleming in 1966. He would also become the third official James Bond author of the adult Bond series with his first-person biography of the fictional agent, James Bond: The Authorized Biography of 007. During the span of his career, he has written multiple novels and many more works of non-fiction.
Pearson now divides his time between London and West Sussex.
