    Tristan Biggs

    I was born in Zimbabwe (then still Rhodesia), and was brought up in a home without television. This was why I developed a great love for books. Unlike most boys of my age, I did not go for the likes of Enid Blyton - we were not allowed to read those books - or the Hardy Boys. Instead I preferred books like the Seven Chronicles of Narnia (C.S Lewis), and of course The Hobbit from which I graduated to the Lord of the Rings. I also enjoyed listening to audio dramas on the radio. When I reached my teen years, I used to smuggle magazines like 'True Confessions' and 'Intimate Confessions', so that I could mix some spice into my reading matter.I was also an avid writer, and actually enjoyed the Creative Writing part of the school's English curriculum, something that was encouraged by my English teacher at the time. A few years ago, I decided to try and publish some of my own work. My first attempt was in printed form, and was not very successful. So instead I turned to online publishing sites, and have not looked back. My work combines my love for fantasy/Sci Fi with more spicy content.
