About the Author:
Clifford Beal is a former journalist and the author of Gideon's Angel and The Raven's Banquet, both from Solaris Books. Following a swashbuckling past where he trained in 16th century rapier combat, he now leads a more sedentary life but daydreams of returning to fighting trim. When not imbibing endless mugs of tea and writing, he can usually be found imbibing endless mugs of tea and reading. Originally from Providence, Rhode Island, he lives in Surrey, England with a fiery redhead of a wife and a crazed Boston terrier.
