TALLERMAN, David
David Tallerman was born and raised in the northeast of England. A long and confused period of education ended with an MA dissertation on the literary history of seventeenth century witchcraft that somehow incorporated references to both Kate Bush and H P Lovecraft.
Needless to say, this didn’t have a great impact on subsequent jobs as a cucumber packer, telephone interviewer and civil servant, and it was only when he sidestepped into the world of computing that David’s study of the dark arts really began to pay off. He currently roams the UK as an itinerant IT Technician-for-hire, applying theories of animism and sympathetic magic to computer repair and taking devoted care of his bonsai tree familiar.

THEOBALD, John
John Owen Theobald is an author and researcher. Born and raised in Eastern Canada, he moved to the UK to study the poetry of Keats, and in 2009 received a PhD from the University of St. Andrews.
His first novel, THE DESERTERS’ ORCHESTRA tells the remarkable story of three Russian musicians who helped win a war. Set in 1941 Leningrad, this novel explores how they endured the deadliest siege in history and found themselves in the makeshift orchestra premiering Shostakovich’s defiant Seventh Symphony – broadcast across the city, the country, and directly into the trenches of the surrounding German soldiers.

TREGILLIS, Ian
United Kingdom, British Commonwealth and Translation only: Represented in these territories on behalf of Kay McCauley at Pimlico/Aureous Inc, NY.
Ian Tregillis was born and raised in the United States, where his parents had settled after fleeing the wrath of a Flemish prince. (The full story involves a stolen horse, or so he’s been told.) He attended the University of Minnesota, where he received a Ph.D. in physics for his research on radio galaxies and quasars. After finishing his thesis, he moved to the American Southwest just as soon as he found a group of people willing to hire him. He’s still a bit surprised by this because he has no useful skills.
