Ben Aaronovitch

Ben Aaronovitch was born and raised in London and all his work has reflected his abiding fascination and love for what he modestly likes to refer to as the ‘capital of the world.’ He is the author of the Peter Grant/Rivers of London urban fantasy series, plus a spin-off series of graphic novels set in the same universe.

In his youth he wrote for Doctor Who (including the Remembrance of the Daleks episode), Casualty and the late, lamented space soap Jupiter Moon – a show so low budget that you were only allowed seven of the regular cast in any given episode!

He also wrote a series of tie-in novels for Virgin Books and Big Finish that turned out to be excellent practice for his fiendish plan to inflict his prose upon an unsuspecting world.

Ben still lives in London and is currently working on his next novel.
