Sam Middleton is an English science fiction and fantasy author. He graduated from the University of Sheffield with a BA in English Literature. While there, he was influenced by the epistolary forms of Bram Stoker's Dracula and Mary Shelly's Frankenstein. Combining this with a mild obsession with epic fantasy, he wrote Eluthienn, an epistolary epic fantasy novel, part of the ongoing A Tale of the Fromryr series. His other series, Of Strange Worlds and Stranger Tales, is a collection of sci-fi and fantasy short stories, some of which are interlinked, and others are standalone. It includes the novella, The Lazarat Moon, also part of the A Tale of the Fromryr series. For the past ten years Sam has been honing his craft as a professional business content and ghost writer. Now freelance, he spends most of his time in the UK, but he will occasionally disappear for several months – usually to blast out some writing, and usually to somewhere with more sun.
