I am a fantasy author who lives in New Zealand within sight of the magnificent Southern Alps and surrounded by sheep, mountains and badly behaved rivers.

I was born in the UK, but have lived in Hong Kong, the UK and now New Zealand. I am very familiar with the Richter Scale.

I love writing, I love people reading what I write, and I love the fact that people will pay money to read it. In our materialistic world I set my prices as low as I can and hope it's low enough. I especially love it when readers get in touch, rate or review one of my books.(less)

Quotes by Tim Stead  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Killing men is not like fencing. There's no room for fine touches in battle. Every second that you blade is stuck in one man's body is a second that another can use to skewer you.”
Tim Stead, The Seventh Friend

“But a trick doesn't seem clever if you reveal it before it's played.”
Tim Stead, The Seventh Friend

“A great man is one who can swim in the ocean and not get wet.
(Sheyani Esh Baradan al Dasham)”
Tim Stead
