Keith Austin

The Guardian said: “I was blown away. Honestly, I didn't think, when receiving this book in the mail, that it would be so … wow ... I'm still recoiling from the ending ... the best of its kind. Keith Austin deserves to take his place, up there with Stephen King and Neil Gaiman.”

ORIGINALLY from London's East End, Keith Austin has been a journalist more than 45 years. After working in local newspapers in London, Essex and the Home Counties he made the move to Fleet Street in 1986 when he joined The Sunday Times and, later, the Daily Mirror. Since then Keith has worked in Glasgow, Beijing and Sydney, Australia. He currently resides in the UK.

HE HAS been, variously, a chief sub, production editor, travel editor, feature writer, regular columnist, news reporter, restaurant and book reviewer. He has also edited two cookbooks, Blokes and Seafood, and four editions of the NSW Pub Food Guide.

HE IS the author of Young Adult books GRYMM, JAGO and SNOW. He is passionate about food, drink, travel, writing, photography, humor and football. But not in that order.
