About the Author

I work at Swansea University Research Department, where I am lucky enough to be part of so many exciting projects. Seeing all the good work in fields such as medicine is very inspiring, and motivates me every day. Creativity is very important and I try to surround myself with as much as possible. I live in Swansea with my beautiful wife Helen. We enjoy exercising, and walks along the coast. I love a good read, and have spent countless, hours, days, weeks...ok probably years of my life absorbing as much as possible. By taking everything I love from cherished authors such as Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Tad Williams, George RR Martin, Piers Anthony, amongst a multitude of others, my writing tastes of all. Though the gravy may be a concoction of many, the meat and potato are my own. Fantasy is my greatest love, and the genre I enjoy most to write. With all great books, characters come first; I enjoy putting mine through hell, thinking of ways to make them grow, and for the reader to relate to them. I love to hear from new people, and to share ideas. You can find me on Twitter Karlbeer2 or contact me through this website: http: //illyarden.weebly.com/
