Graeme K. Talboys was born in Hammersmith. In between teaching in schools and museums, he has published eight works of non-fiction (on museum education, drama, and matters spiritual). He has also written more than a dozen novels. The first (written when he was seventeen) was lost on a train. The next two (written in his early twenties) he wishes had been. Thankfully, he’s had considerably more success with writing since then. His previous jobs have included stacking shelves, pot boy and sandwich maker, and sweeping factory floors. As an adult his first job was teaching Drama and English. Some of his pupils still speak to him.
Praise for Stealing into Winter:
‘A first-class adventure which moves with a pace and panache rarely
seen these days. If you like good future fantasy you'll love this.
Reminiscent of M. J. Harrison or China Miéville at their
fascinating best. I enjoyed Stealing into Winter a lot.’
Michael Moorcock ‘Stealing into Winter is an evocative future
fantasy. It follows the struggles of former thief Jeniche of Antar
and her companions to maintain their humanity as, displaced by war,
the odds seem stacked against them. Graeme K. Talboys has created
engaging characters who live on in the reader's mind long after the
last page has been turned.’
Susan Murray, author of The Waterborne Blade. ‘As an author,
[Talboys] has a strong, clear but not authoritarian sort of voice,
and that carries over brilliantly into fiction. Stealing into
Winter is a really interesting piece of future fantasy … [I] am
waiting impatiently to read the rest’ Druid Life
