Mark Keay

The author has led a varied career, working by turns as a school teacher and university tutor in English history; a heavy truck driver, manual labourer; landscaper and gardener; and, presently, as a small business owner. He has a PhD in Modern English History and Literature and has published on the impact of the Industrial Revolution on the landed society, 1688–1832. His interest in science fiction, fantasy and horror has been crucial to his development as a writer of fiction and nonfiction. When not reading and writing, he enjoys exercising, country walks and sightseeing. He is encouraged to try new things by his less-conservative companion, Debra, and their extended family.
