G.P. Ritchie enjoyed a misspent childhood hanging around shady libraries and falling into the company of the wrong sorts of books and comics. He gained a life-long ambition to write... but ended up working in software development instead. He blogs at nightsborder-dot-com, but rather unwisely, has never spent time as a cryptozoologist, ninja, or any of that other exciting stuff sensible authors do before writing one of these descriptions.
His tastes in fiction skew towards the creepy: crime, horror, dark fantasy, with all of these represented in his work. Prior to publishing fiction in book form, he crowbarred some material onto radio and stage.
He lives in Edinburgh with his wife and son.
