Jack Reyn

I've been writing for over ten years. It was a pretty haphazard process to start with! My first book was written in the odd moments I had between working and living, which didn't leave much time. My first novel, "Imago", was mainly written while commuting.

I'd published quite a few non-fiction books, but I'd always dreamed of writing a novel. I found myself, unusually, with time on my hands, so I decided to see if I could do it. It's really as simple as that.

What tipped me over the edge was a tweet by Neil Gaiman about the Terry Pratchett Prize for alt history. That's what inspired me to choose this genre, although I didn't have nearly enough time to enter the competition!
