About the Author

Born, against the odds, to a recently widowed artist, in a neighbour's bed, Stuart Aken loves to use

imagination in the construction of his stories. His fiction is the only place he bends the truth and, after love,

remains his raison d'être. Unwilling to be constrained by genre, he writes his stories first and then selects the

niche into which they most closely fit. His back catalogue includes romance, science fiction, fantasy, erotica,

horror and something that might be considered literary. A husband, father, novelist, playwright, short story

writer, blogger, word wrangler, and romantic open-minded optimistic radical liberal, he has been described

as sometimes dangerous to know. Raised by a gifted mother who painted and knew what love meant and

a step-father who lacked imagination but loved and educated him in things natural and worldly, he feels

his childhood was magical: not always considered the optimum background for a writer. But he's had his

share of tragedy, loss, love, illness, adventure, luck of both types, and hard experiences to provide a life that

informs his writing with reality. He takes a professional approach to authorship but has never allowed that

discipline to erode the very real pleasure he gains from creating stories and having readers respond with

positive enjoyment.
