Adam Blade is in his late twenties, and was born in Kent, England. His
parents were both history teachers and amateur artists, and Adam grew up
surrounded by his father's paintings of historic English battles - which
left a lifelong mark on his imagination. He was also fascinated by the
ancient sword and shield that hung in his father's office. Adam's father
said they were a Blade family heirloom. As a boy, Adam would spend days
imagining who could have first owned the sword and shield. Eventually,
he created a character - Tom, the bravest boy warrior of them all. The
idea for Beast Quest was born. When Adam grew up and decided that he
wanted to be a writer, he was stuck for ideas - until he remembered the
old sword and shield, and the imaginary boy he had created when he was
young. Adam decided to bring Tom fully to life so that readers could go
on the kind of adventures that he always wanted to when he was that
age... And still does, even though he's grown up! When he's not writing
Beast Quest books, Adam enjoys visiting museums and ancient battle
sites. His main hobbies are fencing and football. He also spends a lot
of time at home running around after his two exotic pets - a tarantula
named Ziggy, and a capuchin monkey named Omar. These little rascals were
the inspiration for two of the Beasts that Tom faces on his Quest -
Arachnid and Claw. Sadly, Adam does not have his own Fire-Dragon or
Horse-Man. But he really wishes he did!
