Born in Coventry, England, on November 1, 1964, Ian Dowdall grew up surrounded by the two genres of Science Fiction and Science Fantasy. As a child he was reading Tolkien, Heinlein and Burroughs; moving onto Donaldson, Asimov, Coney, Priest, Dick and Eddings. As a result, his first series of self-published novels entitled 'The Children of Rian' are a fusion of the two genres. At the age of thirty-eight he immigrated to the Canadian Pacific Coast. He is also a classically trained pianist and self-taught guitarist whose music is available via Amazon.
