Born on an island in the South Pacific, from my first foray into The Hobbit at ten years old, through writers such as Ursula K. Le Guin and Anne McCaffrey, I spent my early years submerged in fantasy and science fiction. At nineteen I set out to discover the world and spent the next twenty-odd years living in and moving between countries such as Spain, Australia, New Zealand and England. I currently live between London and Barcelona. “The Jewel Fish Chronicles” is my first fantasy series, though I also write contemporary fiction as Kevin Booth. Through the Whirlpool and Twilight Crosser, the first two parts of the Jewel Fish Chronicles, are now available in print and as e-books, while Book III, Lake of Stone will be out in February 2015.
