When he isn't writing or dreaming up new stories, Kent can often be found outside fighting orcs and nettles, and sometimes winning. But not if it's raining, because then he's terrified he might dissolve into green slime and dribble into a passerby's wellingtons. What a dreadful way to meet someone: by getting acquainted via their sweaty foot inside a rubber boot.

At least nothing weird like that ever happens in his books.
He loves reading fantasy, science fiction and the occasional historical novel. His taste in films is pretty much in the same genres. Whatever you do, don't ask him what his favourite film or book is. You'll grow a long, grey beard listening to his endless, rambling answer. Spoiler: he can't make up his mind.

Kent's writing is fuelled by coffee, biscuits, cheese rolls, quesadillas and wine. He is friendly but shy and tends to prefer the company of books than shouty people.
He likes lots of different types of food, but runs for the hills when confronted by coriander (that's cilantro to Americans). You can't blame him, really. Who enjoys garnish that tastes like soap?

Apart from soapy herbs there isn't much he doesn't like when it comes to food. Okay, there's fish. Nobody sane eats fish. It's a complete mystery to him how anyone can. Yech!

If pressed for a favourite food, he'll say Mexican. If you ever invite him to dinner, an enchilada or two will do nicely. If you're really generous, a beer will be appreciated too. A margarita won't be turned down either.

His fondness for blues music makes his kids roll their eyes, but then they haven't reached the sophisticated, nuanced, high-browed pinnacle of culture in which he circulates.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch through email or social media. If you're a nice, non-shouty person, Kent would love to hear from you!
