Sebastien de Castell

Sebastien de Castell had just finished a degree in Archaeology when he started work on his first dig. Four hours later he realized how much he actually hated archaeology and left to pursue a very focused career as a musician, ombudsman, interaction designer, fight choreographer, teacher, project manager, actor, and product strategist. His only defence against the charge of unbridled dilettantism is that he genuinely likes doing these things and that, in one way or another, each of these fields plays a role in his writing. He sternly resists the accusation of being a Renaissance Man in the hopes that more people will label him that way.

His first novel, Traitor's Blade comes out in February 2014 from Quercus (U.K. and U.S.), Piper Verlag (Germany), and Penguin (Canada)

Sebastien lives in Vancouver, Canada with his lovely wife and two belligerent cats.
