About the author

Pete Oxley leads a double life - by day a coach and trainer for nervous wedding speakers, and by night an author of dark historical fantasy, steampunk and sci-fi. Sometimes he even wears a cape...

A self-confessed geek, when he's not inventing new worlds and writing about them, he can be found devouring books, films and TV programmes on pretty much anything (but with a soft spot for steampunk, sci-fi, fantasy or anything with a zombie in it...).

Author of the Spencer & Bart / Demon Hunting series, "The Infernal Aether" series, and the non-fiction book "The Wedding Speech Manual".

He lives with his wife, two young sons and a slowly growing guitar collection. Aside from writing and willingly speaking in front of large crowds of strangers, Pete spends his spare time playing music badly, supporting football teams that play badly and writing about himself in the third person.
