Alec Worley is an author from South London.

He writes stories for readers (and listeners) of all ages who like smart, funny and - above all - thrilling tales of fantasy, horror and sci-fi.

If you're into stories about swords, fangs and lasers, then you're in luck!

Best known for his work on 2000 AD (the home of Judge Dredd), Star Wars and Games Workshop's Warhammer, he's also created many stories of his own.

He is the co-creator of apocalyptic werewolf saga Age of the Wolf (with Jon Davis-Hunt for 2000 AD), paranormal comedy Dandridge (with Warren Pleece for 2000 AD), and plenty more either in the pipeline or waiting to be announced...

Thanks for calling in. Hope you're keeping safe and well. Regarding a hardcover omnibus of Realm, I'm afraid the only omnibus I know about is this one... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Realm-Damned... ...which appears to be in paperback. I know that publishers are suffering under the paper crisis at the moment, so it's quite possible that any hardback edition might have been delayed. So sorry I can't be any more help to you on this.
