Ennes Bastin is a writer determinedly unconstrained by genre or style, his work ranging from the dark and sometimes deeply disturbing through commercial crime thrillers and cross-over fantasy to light whimsical humour and even outrageous comedy.
Qualified in both natural sciences and psychology Ennes spent his working years in corporate industry, travelling extensively and being fortunate enough to encounter a vast spectrum of people, settings and cultures that filled his head with ideas for fictional works. His ‘out of the blue’ decision to swap international commerce for the peace and tranquillity of a life deep in the glorious countryside of the Cheshire-Shropshire border finally gave him the time and space he needed to start writing them down.
When not at his word-processor Ennes spends his time hiking, enjoying theatre, watching live sports and listening to a bizarrely eclectic selection of music whilst endlessly grafting to maintain his rural homestead. He is also continuing, along with his artist wife, to travel far and wide, although his ever-escaping sheep and (thankfully) much better behaved chickens, are nagging him to spend less time away. The resolutely insouciant cat, on the other hand, couldn’t give a fig.
