Ben Jeapes has been a full-time ghostwriter since 2015 and was already writing for publication long before that, while holding down day jobs in publishing (social sciences, I.T., medicine, science fiction) and technical communications. As Sebastian Rook he wrote THE VAMPIRE PLAGUES for Working Partners (Scholastic 2004), and as a ghostwriter he has written over fifty books, mostly but not all novels. He has had five novels and eighteen short stories professionally published under his own name, together with three novels self-published, all in the genre of science fiction, fantasy and adventure. As well as this, his children's biography ADA LOVELACE (David Fickling Books 2019) was chosen by the National Science Teaching Association as one of the Best STEM Books of 2021. Ben knows he was writing stories at least as early as age 7 because he remembers doing so getting in the way of lessons. This set the pattern for writing interrupting his education all the way through Sherborne School and the University of Warwick, but somehow he still emerged with a degree in Philosophy & Politics. He now lives near Oxford, which suits him perfectly as a place where anyone with publishing and writing skills is unlikely to starve.
