Neal Asher

Neal Asher is a renowned English author, well-known for his science fiction novels. He has written several series, including the Rise of the Jain series, the Agent Cormac series, the Novel of the Polity series, and the Jack Four series. His works are popular in the science fiction genre, and he has a dedicated following of readers.

Asher was born on February 4, 1961, in Billericay, Essex. He has lived in various places throughout his life, including Crete and England. However, much of his time is spent at a keyboard, where he creates his intricate and imaginative worlds.

Before becoming a writer, Asher had a variety of jobs, including engineer, barman, skip lorry driver, coalman, boat window manufacturer, contract grass cutter, and builder. These experiences have given him a wide range of knowledge and skills, which he has drawn upon in his writing.

Now, Asher considers writing to be his preferred profession. He enjoys the freedom and flexibility that it provides, as he doesn't have to clock-in, change his clothes after work, or scrub sensitive parts of his body with detergent. Despite having over twenty-five books published, he has been accused of overproduction, but he doesn't intend to slow down just yet. He continues to write and create new worlds for his readers to explore.
