Victor Kloss

Victor Kloss was born in 1980 and lived his first five years in London, before moving to a small town in West Sussex. By day he built websites, by night he wrote (or tried to).

His love for Children's Fantasy stemmed from Enid Blyton, Tolkien, and recently, JK Rowling. His hobbies included football, golf, reading and taking walks with his wife and daughter.

Sadly, Victor passed away on 5 November 2016 after fighting a losing battle against an aggressive form of lymphoma.

Victor wrote the following about his life in 2014, and we’ll leave his words as they are for you to read.

"Writing
Needless to say, I enjoy writing. Hence the book. I’ve been writing fiction since I left school. Like most people, I like to write what I would like to read. I’m very picky about pace, ease of reading and I like humour. Most of all I like to enter a world that I would love to be part of.

Reading
I used to be mad about epic fantasy (I read Game of Thrones many years before it became a phenomenon) but lately I find myself reading children’s fiction and mainstream thrillers. I’m the sort of person who will download thirty samples for the Kindle, and probably only read two or three books. Picky!

Life statistics
30 (mainly miserable) years supporting Tottenham Hotspur
25 years attempting (and failing) to hit a golf ball
18 writing fiction
8 years (and counting) happily married
2 years of fatherhood."
