About the author

T. J. P. Campbell lives in Cambridge, UK. He started as a self-employed full-time author on January 26, 2015; but he has been writing and self-publishing since 2003, and is now proud to have 30 fully fleshed novels completed, 23 of which are sci-fi novels. He writes mainly sci-fi novels for adults and young adults (often cross-over material) His novels include epic quests throughout the universe(s) to what-if historical dystopian futures. He sometimes writes in other genres for variability, such as his writing for younger teens. For example The Londoners series (a sci-fi/fantasy/horror adventurous modern day version of Enid Blyton’s Famous Five series). And his YA detective novel The Ultimate Serial Killer.

His writing style is clear and easy to follow, but does not shy away from advanced prose taking advantage of many rhetorical devices. He places a lot of emphasis on drama, mystery, suspense, originality, quirkiness and inimitable characterization. His stories aim to explore the human condition in often extreme and bizarre scenarios and take the reader on a deep journey through their clichéd heart, mind and soul.

He has wide-ranging life experiences which help in his story creation process. For instance, he is an alumnus of seven UK universities with a PhD as his highest qualification. In industry he has worked in Dounreay Nuclear Power Station (in the Prototype Fast Reactor department); in The Inland Revenue Headquarters, London; in a Smart Card software engineering company, Edinburgh; as a school teacher and college lecturer; as a singer-songwriter; as a Draughtsman; as a building site labourer (for only a year); and, okay, might as well add one of his favourite jobs: a road sweeper in Slough High Street for six months. On the sporting side he represented many of his universities at first team football and won many internal five-a-side tournaments. Also a reasonable squash and badminton player. Useless swimmer.
