Justin is a London-based writer whose first book 'On heaven's Lake' is published by Smashwords.

Aside from teaching at a Chinese university, he has worked for a family business, a military think tank, and a public service. He is currently studying at the University of Oxford. Some time soon he hopes to return to the Middle Country and live another year amongst the chaos.
