Stephen Llewelyn (1972 - still not dead yet)

Whereas Obelix fell into a cauldron of magic potion at an early age, Stephen fell into the construction industry, spending most of his post education working life trying to climb back out! Humble and unorthodox beginnings for a writer perhaps, but with lifelong passions for history, archaeology, prehistory, palaeontology and music, the draw of writing stories was perhaps inevitable. The New World Series was a natural beginning, exploring humanity's uncertain future from a long lost past, along with all of the intrigues which plague man (and woman) throughout any era. Ever easily distracted by anything of a scientific or historic nature, Stephen's 'wide eyed wonder' and fascination (with almost everything) could prove detrimental on occasion. When working on a really old property - where it was possible to follow the Georgian hand-made bricks down cellar stairs to the narrower Tudor bricks underneath them, all the way to the bedrock below which was removed to provide material for one of the first, stone-built Norman castles in Britain - digging into the history of this was found to somewhat slow the process of digging up the floor! Many of the people who have worked with Stephen over the years have suffered much, listening to his exuberance about such things. Stephen lives in a mountainous region of the UK with many crazy, but much beloved dogs and possibly one of the most patient women who have ever lived.
