edit data

Russ Barr has spent over twenty-five years working in the technology industry, all the while harbouring a desire to put his overactive imagination to better use. His debut novel, War Inc., was written over the course of fourteen years and finally self-published in 2025.

A lifelong reader, Russ has a particular love of post-apocalyptic fiction, sci-fi and anything with humour and heart. He plans to explore a range of genres in future books, and may yet scratch his long-standing zombie itch.

He lives in the south-east of England with his wife, three children and a dog.
