R. J. Furness has been passionate about great stories since he was able to read.  At an early age, he would frequently create new characters, worlds and creatures, then write crazy tales all about them.  However, until now, he has always kept those ideas completely secret.  After having a lifelong interest in animals, music and anything spawned from pure imagination, R.J.'s first love are now his wife and children.  Over time, he has also developed an overwhelming desire for mugs of tea and good biscuits to dunk.  He lives in Southport, England, with his family, a dog and several fish, chickens and quails.
