Thom Bedford - Author

Thom Bedford - Author Thom Bedford is a science fiction author, writing military space opera novels. Thom grew up in suburban Cheshire, England with his parents and brother.

Since childhood he has had a propensity for creativity, whether it be writing, building models, painting, designing graphics and technology, or programming. After studying Computer Science at The University of Manchester, he started working as a Software Developer. Following in his father’s footsteps, he worked as a Technical Consultant in London for several years, then in Data Warehousing back in

Manchester. In his spare time, Thom still writes (obviously), builds models, paints, and programs, but nowadays he also listens to a lot of music, watches films, reads, and enjoys playing video games. His love for science fiction comes from blockbuster films like Starship Troopers, Star Wars and Star Trek. B-movies like Wing Commander, Pitch Black, and Iron Sky. TV shows like Battlestar Galactica, The Expanse, and Stargate. Video games like Homeworld, EVE-Online, and Stellaris. Books like Jack Campbell’s Lost Fleet series, Jasper T. Scott’s Dead Space series, and David Weber’s Honor Harrington series. In other words, sci-fi—particularly space opera—in any media. Thom currently lives in Cheshire, England, with his wife Helen and their two cats.

Yesterday afternoon I hosted an author talk at Cover2Cover Northwich with over a dozen guests, their most popular event to date.

I spoke about my history, inspirations, writing process, and self-publishing journey so far. Plus a handful of readings from my three books, and a lot of Q&A and banter with the attendees!

Thank you so much to everyone that joined me to show support, and even more of a thank you to everyone who bought a book or two. I really appreciate your support, and I hope you all had as much fun as I did!

Thanks also to Tim (and Annie) at Cover2Cover in Northwich for hosting the event.
