Neal Asher was born in 1961 in Billericay, Essex. He had an uneventful childhood and an inadequate and detestable schooling courtesy of the comprehensive reform that would have us all equally uneducated.

Neal Asher started writing SF and fantasy at the age of sixteen and up until 2000 the limit of his success had been stories accepted by a large proportion of British small press SF and fantasy magazines. One of his 'synopses and samples' hit at Pan Macmillan and they offered him a three-book contract.

Pan have now published many of the books below, some if not all have been published, or are due to be published, in America, Russia, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Japan, Czechoslovakia and Romania.

Neal Asher is married to Caroline and is now a full-time writer.
