JORGE SALGADO-REYES is a Chilean and British sci-fi/cyberpunk author, private investigator and photographer. Born in Temuco, Chile, Salgado-Reyes left his country of birth at age seven in 1975 with his family driven into exile by the Pinochet dictatorship. Subsequently brought up in the United Kingdom, he changed residence frequently with his family as a child. Salgado-Reyes became somewhat of a loner who read science fiction from an early age. After spending his adolescence in Mozambique, he returned to the UK where he completed his education.

In 2011, Salgado-Reyes began writing his first novel, The Smoke in Death’s Eye, but has yet to finish it. It combines elements of cyberpunk and hardboiled detective fiction. It features the antihero Ángel Castillo and is set in London. Author Paul Dorset interviewed Salgado-Reyes in 2012 where he discussed his novel saying, "This is a cyberpunk/thriller of a novel, geographically set in “the smoke” (i.e. London) about a 150 years in a dystopian future. The protagonist is a private investigator whose agency is tasked with investigating a serial killer. The novel starts with the serial killer stalking and interrogating his victim (who dies as a result of the interrogation) in a derelict building in a suburb of south London. This victim is not the killer's first, with the killings going back for decades."

In 2012, Indie Authors Press published Salgado-Reyes’ first reference book, British Process Servers Guide written in collaboration with Stuart Withers and Helen Withers. Salgado-Reyes calls it, “The essential guide to the successful completion of all legal process.”
