Tim Chant

Tim Chant grew up (mostly), went to school in East Anglia and university in Scotland. He took his history degree and did the only thing he could with it—joined the civil service. When not shackled to his desk he writes science fiction, alternative historical fiction, historical fiction, and any other fiction that takes his fancy. When not doing that, he's an inveterate roleplayer and wargamer (and getting back into historical fencing). He lives in Edinburgh with his partner and their two rabbits.

The Straits of Tsushima, book one of the Marcus Baxter adventures, is his first historical fiction novel. As T Q Chant, he also writes science fiction, steampunk, and speculative fiction.
