TIM LEBBON has been writing ever since he can remember. When he was a kid, he finished a story about a train hijacking; when he was a teenager, he began about nine million novels, and finished none of them.

His first published story was in the UK indie magazine Psychotrope in 1994. Three years later, in 1997, Tanjen published Mesmer, his first novel. Now with over a dozen books to his credit, Lebbon has drawn inspirations from a wide variety of authors, from Machen to Masterton, King to Kafka, Barker to Banks, Clark to Clarke, Bradbury to Ballard, Piccirilli to Priest.

Tim was born in London in 1969, lived in Devon until he was eight, and the next twenty years were spent in Newport. He now lives with his wife Tracy and his kids Ellie and Daniel in Goytre in Monmouthshire.
