MR S D Ballentyne

I'm a minstrel with a wandering mind. I write contemporary fiction with a speculative twist, old school YA fantasy, weird and blunderful satire, oddments on Twitter, riddles, and occasional poetry. Winner of the Chimera Fantasy Awards with A Deeper Rift in Time. Recently finished wading through my PhD, on Semitic wordplay in Mark's gospel, at the University of Nottingham. On languid Sundays, I've been known to seek representation by literary agents (which is like going condom fishing in the Atlantic Ocean). All proceeds from books sales go to the British Heart Foundation. Pronouns: It/That thing. Favourite colour: blu... no yellow.
