Philip Dickens lives in Pontypridd with his wife Dee, daughter-person Noah, and their two shy and loving but utterly demented cats.

​​​​​​​He is a trade union representative in the Public and Commercial Services union, though to his chagrin this involves as much travelling on trains and sitting in meetings as it does helping workers organise and take action to improve their conditions.

​​​​​​​Outside of writing and trade unionism, he enjoys reading stories set in other worlds, watching movies about superheroes and playing computer games involving the indiscriminate slaughter of the undead.

​​​​​​​Dee, Noah and their two cats are his whole world.
