Tim Chant grew up and was educated in rural Lincolnshire before getting a history degree from university in Scotland. He lives in Edinburgh where he works for the Civil Service. When not working he writes, roleplays, wargames and very occasionally indulges in historical fencing.
Reading and story-telling have always been a big part of his life. Having grown up on a diet of classic naval and other historical adventures and with a passion for history, writing historical fiction was perhaps inevitable.
