Aneurin Gareth Thomas studied Philosophy in London and has worked as a teacher, journalist and translator. He is the writer of two previous published novels and a translation "Luggage from Elsewhere" (Parthian Books 2007), "Excess Baggage" (Lulu 2008) and "Paper Spurs" by Olga Merino (Parthian Books 2010). He lives in Brecon, Wales and speaks a handful of languages, badly – he likes to say he’s still learning English.
