David Tallerman was born and raised in the northeast of England. A long and confused period of education ended with a Masters dissertation on the literary history of seventeenth century witchcraft that somehow incorporated references to both Kate Bush and HP Lovecraft.David 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.Over the last few years, David has been steadily building a reputation for his genre short fiction and increasingly his writing has tended to push and merge genres, and to incorporate influences from his other great loves – comic books and cinema. He's currently hard at work on his third Easie Damasco adventure, Prince Thief.
