       CHRISTOPHER BYFORD

      was born in 1980 in Wellingborough, England. He learnt to walk whilst holding onto a Golden Retriever and fondly remembers the days of BMX bikes and conker matches. He left college to suffer as an IT Manager for a small multinational before, in his words, escaping to Gloucester. After working for some large tech companies he seized the opportunity to become a full time author. It was the best thing he’s ever done.

      In the last few years Chris has penned various tales, DEN OF SHADOWS being his most prominent.

      Away from literary things, his interests include all things VW Campervans, gardening, photography, astronomy and chicken keeping.

      He finds talking about himself in the third person rather pedantic and could murder a cold pint of cider right about now.

Acknowledgements

      Den of Shadows was the product of grit, determination and outright stubbornness on my part but like all things, required the input of others to become what you read now. Not thanking these individuals would be inappropriate.

      My father, Allan, who seeded the concept for Den of Shadows in my youth despite being completely unaware of this.

      My wife Emma. No greater muse could there be for someone such as I. You helped me forge the underlying concept into something respectable.

      Corinne, Hayley & Debs, for providing much needed spirit for some characters.

      All the great team at HQ for their hard work, especially Hannah who saw something worthwhile to share to the world.

      And to you, reading this now. Thank you for coming along for the journey.
