RJ Barker lives in Leeds with his wife son and a collection of questionable taxidermy odd art
scary music and more books than they have room for. He grew up reading whatever he could get
his hands on and has always been 'that one with the book in his pocket'. Having played in a
rock band before deciding he was a rubbish musician RJ returned to his first love fiction to
find he is rather better at that. As well as his debut epic fantasy series the Wounded Kingdom
trilogy (Age of Assassins Blood of Assassins and King of Assassins) RJ has written short
stories and historical scripts which have been performed across the country. He has the sort of
flowing locks any cavalier would be proud of.
