Born on November 14, 1967 in Worcester, England, Alistair Langston spent his childhood in Somerset where he first discovered his passion for writing. 'I've forgotten how many stories I started, some I finished whilst others fell by the wayside though I think the majority had a leaning towards either horror or science-fiction.' Leaving college with qualifications in computing he changed career direction by going into the the club scene and spent the next 15 years regularly working 60-70 hour weeks managing clubs and bars around the Uk. In 2002 he returned to computers when he moved to Scotland and took up an IT position with a local regional council. The end of the following year saw the publication of his first novel, Aspects of a Psychopath.

When he's not writing, Langston is editor of the Atlantis Archives, a website of which the sole aim is to compile all the available facts on the fabled lost continent of Atlantis. He also maintains his passion with the the theatre, regularly visiting shows and on occasions can also be found helping out backstage.
