Head of Cameras & Lighting for the BBC for 5 years, Steve Cockayne is now a lecturer in Media & Production studies. He is currently restoring and reviving the family business, a Marionette Theatre, some of the characters from which provided the inspiration for the characters of this novel.
'There is no faulting Cockayne's story telling. His style is direct and simple, yet very engaging. He seems as equally comfortable writing pathos and humor as he is at dealing with myths and violence.' SFREVU.COM 'A heady fusion of well-known fantasy tropes and the quiet oddness of everyday life, with a dash of social satire for good measure.' ZONE- SF.COM 'A laudable and immensely readable debut from a sparkling new voice' DIVERSEBOOKS.COM 'Original ... well written ... emotionally involving ...quite charming. An excellent beginning to a vibrant new fantasy saga' THE ALIEN ONLINE 'There is no doubt that he is one to watch, writing fantasy far above the norm. His dialogue, sense of place and characterisation are outstanding.' SFX
