Ben Jeapes was born in Belfast in 1965, and raised in Cornwall and Dorset. A graduate of Warwick University, where he studied philosophy and politics, Jeapes entered the publishing industry in 1987 through his mother's cousin Jessica Kingsley (Jessica Kingsley Publishers). In 1990, he left to join Learned Information, an Oxford-based company that organises conferences and publishes journals, and between 1997 and 2000 was employed by Isis Medical Media as development editor. Since the closing down of Big Engine in early 2004 (following the publication of Charlie Stross's Festival of Fools), Jeapes took up a position as technical editor for a computer network. He also continues to write in his spare time. Among his novels are Time's Chariot, His Majesty's Starship, Jeapes Japes, The New World Order, and The Ark.
