About the Author: Benjamin Akira Tallamy (Born April 6th 1984) is a British writer and musician. Growing up in the sleepy county of Devon, Ben left school at fifteen, notoriously truant throughout much of his education. Exposed at a young age to an abundance of music and literature, Ben was primarily self-educated - encouraged by his loving parents and grandmother to pursue writing. His first major works were screenplays, but in 2006 Ben completed his first set of novels - The Cold Highways trilogy. Shortly after their completion, Ben began to focus on his music again - appearing as a founding member of groups such as; The mutineers, The pyrates and Catherine and the owl. In 2008 Catherine and the owl released a debut EP 'I', which was well-received by local press. This was followed up in 2010 with a second EP 'By your hand I am spared' - for which Ben also produced the artwork. His debut solo album 'The melody of distaste' was released in 2011, following a humorous Christmas single 'Christmas is a sham - elegy for Aled Jones.' Ben played over nine different instruments on the album, multi-tracking them in live overdubs. He is currently nearing completion of a second novel, as well as over-seeing the post-production of a feature length comedy, which he co-wrote with his childhood friend Tom Hutchings. Shields of justice will be released later this year.
