It has been called 'dark, brutal and bloody' (\u003ci\u003eGrimdark Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e) and 'fast-paced \u0026amp; gripping' (British Fantasy Society) with 'a Robin Hood feel' (\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe is also the author of several works of speculative short fiction published in \u003ci\u003eNature\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCossmass Infinities\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eElectric Spec\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBards \u0026amp; Sages Quarterly\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as the anthology \u003ci\u003eCrash Code\u003c\/i\u003e, the short story collection \u003ci\u003eTricks of the Blade\u003c\/i\u003e and various other works. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHis greatest writing influences include Frank Herbert, Robert Graves, Sharon Kay Penman, Colleen McCullough, Peter S. Beagle and Joe Abercrombie. By day he is a research scientist weathering the latest rounds of mergers and layoffs and trying to remember how to be a person again long after surviving grad school. When not subjecting his writing to one rejection after another he can sometimes be found browsing antique swords he can't afford online, or searching for the perfect hiking trail or archery range. Don't ask where because he's never lived anywhere for longer than five years.
