Andy DarbyI am a lifelong fantasy/sword & sorcery / weird tales fan, and I also have a bit of an obsession with historical fiction. I started writing around ten years ago as an experiment in having the discipline to write something every day during a period whn I was travelling extensively for work. I wrote on my phone and iPad during train journeys, flights, backstage at events, 2 am in hotel rooms, and even during stops at motorway service stations. The result was my first novel, ME AND THE MONKEY: CHRONICLES OF THE MONKEY GOD VOL 1. I have since written VOL 2 and a novella, THE PADDINGTON INCIDENT. I have studied shamanism and the Western occult tradition and trained in and taught martial arts. I am also a motion graphics artist and designer, and I live in Cornwall in the UK with my wife, daughter, three cats and two ponies. Read More Read Less
