J R C Salter was born in Devon in the mid eighties. J trained as a chef and practiced for ten years before quitting to pursue a writing career, having always loved reading and making stories. J wanted to write an epic tale encompassing the adventures of different characters surrounding a mysterious artifact. Main inspirations included The Lord of the Rings, the Silmarillion, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Highlander.

J is a self confessed geek who loves such things as Harry Potter, Batman, Metal Gear Solid, Star Wars, Farscape, Firefly, Game of Thrones (Book and Television) and is a proud follower of Whovianism.

J’s favourite author is Stephen King, with Charles Dickens, JK Rowling and JRR Tolkien coming very close behind.

During any spare time, J likes to dabble in photography, build giant Star Wars models from Lego, and make cookies.
