About the author

Featured on the BBC and Bloomberg TV, best-selling author Stephen Liddell was born in Carlisle, the United Kingdom in 1973 and currently lives just outside London.
As a qualified and still reasonably young historian, Stephen recently wrote the acclaimed Lest We Forget - A Concise Companion to the First World War published by Endeavour Press of London as well as a related WW1 Photoguide to the Western Front entitled In the Footsteps of Heroes. 2015 saw the release of '101 Most Horrible Tortures in History' which reach #2 on Apple iBooks Europe history charts.
He is the author of the 'The Timeless Trilogy' comprising of 'The Promise', 'The Messenger' and 'Forever and Until'. Other works include the humorous travelogue, 'Planes, Trains and Sinking Boats' and the Kindle 3-section Amazon #1 ranked 'How to Get Rich from Airbnb' which he wrote after successfully running one of the top Airbnb listings in the U.K.
2016 has seen the release of V1 Vixen, a vigilante pulp noir thriller with a strong female lead set on the mean streets of London.
Stephen has also written for prestigious environment publications such as Terra Green in India and The Huffington Post in the U.K and U.S.A. as well as regular updates to his blog. He is currently working on a vigilante themed novel and Star Trek guide.
Stephen has always enjoyed travelling and adventure which is the inspiration of several of his books but, of course, is a romantic at heart and this is clear to all to see in the Timeless Trilogy. He also loves all things history with an MA in the subject from SOAS, London University.
At the of 39 Stephen decided to pursue his dreams and left the corporate world to concentrate on writing. Stephen can also be found giving private guided tours around the historic and cultural sights of London and southern England with his new start-up company Ye Olde England Tours.
The last year has seen Stephen expand his career into broadcast media with appearances on BBC Radio and Bloomberg Television with an option for a short story to be filmed by Channel 4 Television.
