Originally from Scotland, Dave Duncan has lived all his adult life in Western Canada, having enjoyed a long career as a petroleum geologist before taking up writing. Since discovering that imaginary worlds are more satisfying than the real one, he has published more than thirty novels, mostly in the fantasy genre, but also young adult, science fiction, and historical. He has at times been Sarah B. Franklin (but only for literary purposes) and Ken Hood (which is short for "D'ye Ken Whodunit?").
His most successful works have been fantasy series: "The Seventh Sword", "A Man of His Word" and its sequel, "A Handful of Men", and the ongoing series about "The King's Blades" He and Janet were married in 1959. They have one son and two daughters, who in turn are responsible for a spinoff series of four grandchildren. Dave now lives in Victoria, BC. His agent is Richard Curtis at www.CurtisAgency.com. He will answer any reasonably civil email, but will not engage in protracted correspondence. Warning: he does not open e-mails that look like spam. A detailed discussion of his work from Gale's "Dictionary of Literary Biography" is available for download from Amazon.com
