Kent Silverhill was born in 1960 in Bristol, UK and emigrated to South Africa when he was seven. The remainder of his childhood was spent growing up in and around Johannesburg. He returned to the UK in 1985 and worked as a manufacturing engineer for a few years before moving into IT. He is also a cartoonist and the author of the Hollow series of which the first two books "Flight of the Gazebo" and "Dangerous Ideals" are currently available. The third book in the series, "Base Metals", is nearly complete and is due out this year.

If you encounter a bewildered looking, middle-aged man trudging across muddy fields in the pouring rain, the trees thrashing in the howling wind, it will only be Kent if he forgot to look at the weather report. He also has two cats but they do not share his view of who's in charge.
