'Field of Heroes is a powerhouse of action and war, with an intrinsic dark humour reminiscent of Iain M. Banks. Very highly recommended.' - Andy Remic.

Craig Saunders is the author of around fifty novels and novellas, including the Amazon bestseller 'Vigil'. As 'Craig R. Saunders' he penned the seven-book fantasy saga of the world of Rythe, beginning in 'The Outlaw King' and culminating with 'Beneath Rythe'.

Since his first novel acceptance 'Rain' over ten years ago his short fiction has been published in periodicals, magazines, podcasts, 'Best of' anthologies, and his novellas have won a couple of awards. He's been a top 100 bestselling author in horror, fantasy and science fiction categories on Amazon, but it isn't the New York Times so he doesn't make a big song and dance about it.

As Craig Robert Saunders he is the author of 'Field of Heroes', 'Hush' and 'Lore' - space opera, space fleet and space marine stories. Some of his favourite modern science fiction comes from Neal Asher, Andy Remic, Iain M. Banks, Dan Abnett and Richard Morgan. As a reader he's a sucker for a great robot or a smart ship. His proudest moments to date are rare praise from NYT bestseller Tim Lebbon who called 'Xenophobia' 'Entertaining, shocking and brutal' , Andy Remic for 'Field of Heroes', which Andy described as 'A powerhouse of action and war reminiscent of Iain M. Banks.'

Craig publishes science fiction with Severed Press. He also publishes novels independently under the Dark Fable Books/Fable Books labels and considers himself a hybrid author.

Craig writes in a shed and blogs about writing and his ongoing battle with schizophrenic affective disorder and he is a fierce advocate for mental health rights.
