Tony Talbot was born in Leicester in the 1970s ("The decade that fashion forgot," as he says). He's survived Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair, deely-boppers and learning to ride a bicycle at the age of 30. He enjoys reading Neal Shusterman, John Marsden, Eoin Colfer, Charlie Higson, Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Charles Dickens and cereal boxes. He graduated with a degree in computer science in 1998 and started writing in 2008 on a whim. He hasn't stopped since. He lives in rural Leicestershire, UK, with an American wife he met online and a teenage cockatiel. Medusa is his fifth book. Find out more....
