There have been tensions and celebrations, but he\u2019d not wish it any other way.\r\n\r\nA life-long gamer, he embraced his passion for over-the-top adventure stories by swapping a twenty-year career in engineering for a new one as a writer. That resulted in his first novel, Devil\u2019s Kiss, back in 2009. Since then he has been published in a dozen languages, writing novels such as the Indian mythology-inspired Ash Mistry series, the Shadow Magic trilogy (as Joshua Khan), and the bestselling City of the Plague God, a Rick Riordan Presents title. While he\u2019s traveled far and wide, he\u2019s most at home in London, with his wife, two daughters, and an aloof cat.
