Kent Silverhill was born in 1960 in Bristol, UK and emigrated to South Africa when he was seven. The remainder of his childhood was spent growing up in and around Johannesburg. He returned to the UK in 1985 and worked as a manufacturing engineer for a few years before moving into IT and, finally, full-time writer. He is also a cartoonist and the author of the Hollow series of which the first three books "Flight of the Gazebo", "Dangerous Ideals" and "A Taste of Steel" are currently available, as well as a prequel "The Persistence of Poison". More info can be found at worldofhollow.net.
In his spare time, Kent enjoys walking and reading (although not at the same time). If you encounter a bewildered looking, middle-aged man trudging across muddy fields in the pouring rain, the trees thrashing in the howling wind, it will probably be Kent who forgot to look at the weather report.
He also has two cats but they do not share his view of who's in charge.

What would you do if you let slip information that could start a war?
What if the person you divulged said information to is a rebel queen with a thirst for blood?
In a world where metal is rare, you probably wouldn't make matters worse by revealing a map showing the location of the hoard of steel you just told her about.
Steel she could turn into swords, spears, and axes. Steel that will destroy her foes with their pathetic hardened glass weapons and leather armour.
Unfortunately, Drome isn't the most gifted of people when it comes to discretion. Or thinking things through.
The consequences hurl him down a path riddled with folk keen to boil him alive, stick pointy objects in his tender flesh or blow him into tiny pieces.
With the real queen gunning for him too, Drome reluctantly embarks on a secret mission to fix the mess he started.
The civilised world depends on him. All he has to do is end a savage war.
With a princess and a sorcerer on his side, what could possibly go wrong?
If you like Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, and Joe Abercrombie, you won't be able to put down the addictive Hollow series.
