About the Author

Russell Turner is 51 and has been a journalist for most of his working life. Contrary to popular belief, that does not give him an advantage when writing fiction.

He was born and raised in Yorkshire but now lives in the Highlands where in 2008 he gave up a full-time job to pursue his literary ambitions, although photography takes up increasing amounts of his time, especially since he was raised to the dizzy heights of LRPS. He is now a part-time newspaper sub-editor and occasional website designer.

Motorcycling and cookery are his other interests. He is also a pub rock bassist with the band Monkey Bones and writes a witty and heartfelt blog, Adventures of a Lone Bass Player, read by discerning dozens around the world.
