J. T. Atkinson grew up in Kent, spending most of his formative years enjoying timeless English seaside holidays on the Kent coast. He attended the University of Derby, where he received a BA (Hons) degree in English. Although, interested in writing from a young age (not a week would go by when he wasn't entertaining his peers with his latest creation), it wasn't until 2016 that he started work on what would become his first published novel. He is the author of the books Amongst Demons and We Hide in the Shadows, the first two parts of The Covenant, a thrilling series of genre-stretching novels that can be read individually and that simultaneously draw on the horror, thriller, and fantasy genres.
He now resides in Wiltshire with his partner and two (very spoiled) cats who believe that they are lords of all they survey (they probably are). He is currently working on the third book in The Covenant series, the soon-to-be-published In Its Wake.
