Mike Shevdon lives in Bedfordshire, England, with his wife and son,
where he pursues the various masteries of weapons, technology, and
cookery. His love of Fantasy & SF started in the 70s with C S
Lewis, Robert Heinlein and Isaac Asimov and continued through Alan
Garner, Ursula Le Guin and Barbara Hambly. More recent influences
include Mike Carey, Phil Rickman, Neil Gaiman, and Robert Crais,
among many others.
He has studied martial arts for many years, mainly aikido and
archery. Friends have sometimes remarked that his pastimes always
seem to involve something sharp or pointy. The pen should therefore
be no surprise, though he's still trying to figure out how to get
an edge on a laptop.
Praise for Sixty-One Nails:
"Shevdon strikes sparks from the flinty core of English folklore,
as a hero every reader can relate to finds he's part of an
incredible and scarily believable parallel realm. If you've been
thinking urban fantasy has nothing fresh to offer, think again."
-Juliet McKenna
"I came away from this feeling like I'd taken a stroll through Mike
Shevdon's imagination... a great place to visit and poke around."
