ADAM BLADE FACTS
Adam is in
his late twenties and was born in Kent. The inspiration for his books came from
his fascination of a sword and shield that hung in his father’s office along
with paintings that his father completed of historic English battles. As a child he often imagined himself in the
battles as a hero warrior saving the day.
Adam’s
parents were both history teachers and artists and their influence can be seen
in the way Adam spends his free time. He loves to visit museums and ancient
battle sites. As far as hobbies are concerned Adam takes part in football and
fencing. He also spends a great deal of time looking after his pet tarantula
Ziggy and his capuchin monkey Omar.

Is this the face of Adam Blade?
There have
been suggestions that Adam Blade is not the author of Beast Quest. It is
actually a pseudonym for four authors who collectively write the stories and
publish the books under the name of Adam Blade. This remains a mystery as it
has not been confirmed or denied.
