About Tim C. Taylor

Before a series of Doctor Who novels inspired him to start writing fiction in 2002, Tim C. Taylor first wrote music and then software. After twenty years in the software industry, he took a break in 2011, setting up Greyhart Press, a publisher of science fiction, horror, and fantasy.

When no one's looking, he also writes YA fantasy and science fiction short stories under the secret pen name of Crustias Scattermush. Tim lives in Bromham, England, with his family.
