Mark de Jager

Mark isn't sure if his love of writing led to his love of gaming or vice versa, but his earliest memories involve both. He now spends his time trying to find a balance between these and working a full time job in the City, a process made slightly easier by his coffee addiction.

An ex-MP in the South African army, Mark now lives in Kent with his wife Liz (herself a published author) and their lazy dog in a house that is equal parts library and home.

His debut novel, Infernal, was published in August 2016 by Del Rey and in February 2017, was long listed for the David Gemmell Morningstar Award. 

In 2020, Rebellion Publishing acquired the World English Language rights to Mark's Stratus series (beginning with Infernal​) and reissued both the first in the series, and published its follow-up, Firesky in 2021.
