About the author

---

Iestyn Long lives with his family in the historic village of Lavenham, in the English countryside. He is reasonably tall and narrow, has a shortage of hair and although English, he has a Welsh name that is a constant confusion to one and all.

While listening to the tunes of Sir Cliff, Iestyn enjoys observing ants and sparrows, drinking copious amounts of tea, and breathing - all of which he likes to practice on a regular basis.

His influences include Monty Python, Blackadder, Red Dwarf, Bernard Cornwall, David Gemmell, Robert Jordan, J.R.R.Tolkien, Terry Pratchett, Queen Elizabeth the Second, King Arthur and, of course, the legendary Sir Cliff Richard. 

Timothy Williams Demon Hunter is Iestyn’s first novel, much of which was written while on the downstairs toilet before heading to work in the mornings. Although Iestyn has fewer reviews than a set of Laura Ashley tea towels, he will endeavour to rule the world by 2025. The toilet seat is warm - the third book in the Timothy Williams saga is underway!

PS: Iestyn is the one with significantly less hair. The other is his beautiful wife, Amie x
