R.E. Palmer is a British author known for his works in science fiction, fantasy, and dystopian fiction. Born in Solihull, England, he published his debut novel, "Sky," in 2012, followed by its sequel, "Stargazers," in 2013. His dystopian trilogy, "The Never Dawn," was released between 2016 and 2018, and he completed his five-book epic fantasy series, "Song of Echoes," in December 2024. Palmer's writing often draws inspiration from his lifelong love of speculative fiction and his vivid imagination.
Before becoming a full-time writer, Palmer worked as a computer programmer for a decade before transitioning into teaching the Alexander Technique, with a focus on sports performance. He has authored three instructional books for athletes and golfers. His creative process involves letting ideas develop organically, often drawing inspiration from everyday observations or spontaneous flashes of inspiration. Palmer's early short stories, written in his late teens and twenties, laid the groundwork for his later novels, with some concepts resurfacing in his published works.
Currently, Palmer is expanding his fantasy universe with a series of sequels to "Song of Echoes." An avid runner, he often uses his time outdoors to brainstorm new story ideas. His works reflect his fascination with science fiction, fantasy, and historical themes, particularly those with a military angle.
