Steve Feasey lives in Herfordshire with his wife and kids. He says he didn’t learn much at school except how to get into fights and chat up girls – he wasn’t particularly successful at either – but he was always a voracious reader. He started writing fiction in his thirties, inspired by his own favourite writers: Stephen King, Elmore Leonard and Charles Dickens. His first book, Changeling, was shortlisted for the Waterstones Prize and became a successful series. Mutant City is his first book for Bloomsbury and will be followed by a sequel in 2015.
