About Niall Teasdale

The British author Niall Teasdale is well-known for his imaginative and intelligent brand of science-fiction and fantasy. Entertaining readers with his suspense fuelled stories, he instantly captures the attention of his audience, holding them there from the outset. Pushing at the boundaries of what genre fiction can really achieve, he writes in a style that opts for more gritty aesthetics over shiny. Many of his books are instantly accessible, as his work reaches a wide ever-increasing audience of readers from around the world.

Prior to working as a full-time writer, he would also work as a computer programmer, although he has been writing regularly since he was fifteen. Always interested in literature and what it can potentially say, he’s become a household name to countless readers worldwide. With many of his books being ongoing series as well, a lot of his readers return time and time again for more, with his epic world-building and narratives. His sense of scope and scale is unsurpassed, allowing him to really excel when it comes to delivering good quality stories and arcs.

Another key feature of his books are his characters, as he really ensures that they come alive off of the page for the reader. Speaking directly to the audience, he has a real insight into what drives his protagonists, despite his otherworldly settings and premises. Grounding his books with a sense of realism, he sets himself apart in both his style and tone, compelling and entertaining the audience in equal measure. With so much more still to come, he is definitely a writer with plenty more to say, as he won’t be putting away his pen any time soon.

Early and Personal Life

Growing up in the United Kingdom with a love of fantasy novels, Niall Teasdale would find himself keenly interested in authors like Susan Cooper. Set firmly within the Young Adult fantasy genre, it would inspire him a great deal, setting him on the path to becoming a fully fledged writer himself. He’d then turn to role-playing games such as ‘Dungeons and Dragons,’ which in turn would see him turning to writing as a profession.

Exploring the full potential of the fantasy genre and what it had to offer, he’d begin to take his fiction in new and interesting directions. Then, in 2015, he would completely turn away from programming after thirty years in the industry, and become a full-time writer. Still writing to this very day, he continues to put out work regularly, with a lot more set to come on the horizon in the near future.

Writing Career

The first book that Niall Teasdale would write was titled ‘Thaumatology 101,’ and it would come out back in 2011. This book would be the first in the ‘Thaumatology’ series of books, with it being a long-running science-fiction and urban fantasy collection of stories. Other series would include ‘Aneka Jansen,’ ‘Ultrahuman,’ ‘Fox Meridian,’ ‘Princeps Venator,’ ‘Misfits,’ and ‘Sondra Blake,’ just to name a few.

Over the years he’s made a name for himself with his diverse and inventive range of novels, really making the most of each of them. Publishing stand-alone titles as well, he’s got a lot of range, creating vast and expansive fantasy worlds that really deliver. Maintaining presence both online as well as off, he continues to maintain a relationship with his many followers, as there’s more to come yet.

Steel Heart

Published on the Kindle back in 2013, this would come out on the 29th of November to be met by an already eagerly awaiting audience. It would mark the third title in the ongoing ‘Aneka Jansen’ series of novels, following on from the previous two titles and paving the way for the next. The book is fantasy and science-fiction, and there’s adult material, so it’s definitely for older readers, as there’s mature content.

Finding herself in a far colder environment than every before, Aneka is heading towards Negral looking to discover what happened to an artificial intelligence living there. Finding a bio-weapons research facility, she learns of the location of the Old Earth, which she was kidnapped from eleven centuries prior. Studying the home-world of the human-race first-hand, the crew of Garnet Hyde don’t know what to expect, or what lies in wait for them. What will they find on their journey beyond the Lorenti Foundation’s borders, who will they face, and how will they fare when testing their steel heart?

The book really delivers on the initial premise set up by the previous two titles, really building upon the world and the characters from before. Making the most of it, it pushes the concept forwards, taking it in new and interesting directions, while also further developing the character arcs. There are plenty of steamy and passionate scenes as well, showing it’s clearly for adults, as Teasdale definitely doesn’t hold back.

Dragon’s Blood

The fourth book in the ongoing ‘Thaumatology’ series of books, this would carry on in much the same vein as the previous three books. Needing to be read in order, the narrative is ongoing, and it would be brought out in 2012 on the 28th of January through the Kindle platform. It would also contain mature adult content, so it’s not suitable for younger readers once again, with its fairly graphic scenes.

Wanting to prove their thaumic power generator works, Cheryl Tennant and her employee Ceridwyn Brent are hoping to provide clean energy to Britain. Trials are set to take place at Stonehenge, with the generator being tested there due to the Neolithic monument seeing a spike in magical activity five thousand years prior. But, within the secrets of the henge are also secrets of Ceri’s own powers as a sorceress, showing the key to understanding her knowledge and powers. Will she be able to discover the truth behind it all, can they get the generator working, and what will become of the dragon’s blood?

As a continuation of the previous book, this works well in carrying the story forwards, showing where each of the characters are going. From Ceri to Cheryl, they’re both shown to be interesting and engaging personalities, making for a more immersive narrative. Once again it also doesn’t hold back when it comes to the graphic content either, really delivering on every single level.
