S.G. (Stephen George) Grant has enjoyed writing fiction since a young age. Born, raised and living in Berkshire, England, his fondness for travel has helped to inspire many ideas and create some of the incredible settings for the first instalment of The Scroll of Days Series.It wasn't until early 2014 that the first idea for an epic fantasy novel was created. Since then it has developed and expanded to create the epic fantasy series now known as The Scroll of Days Series.With a detailed plan created, he began writing and in April 2015 completed the first book in The Scroll of Days Series, The Tomb of Kings.
