Authors A to Z- Keith Topping

Rockin' Keith Topping is an extremely freelance journalist and author whose previous work includes co-editing two editions of The Guinness Book of Classic British TV.

He's also written numerous guides to television series as diverse as The X-Files, The Sweeney, Doctor Who and Roswell for Virgin Books.

He's responsible for four novels, (including the award-winning The Hollow Men), and a novella (Telos's own Ghost Ship), the Stargate SG-1 guide Beyond the Gate, and the best-selling volumes Slayer, Hollywood Vampire and Inside Bartlet's White House.

He is a regular contributor to numerous genre magazines, including TV Zone and Shivers, and is a former Contributing Editor of DreamWatch specialising in coverage of US television.

Keith was born on Tyneside on the same day in 1963 that his beloved Newcastle United lost 3-2 at home to Northampton Town. Things haven't improved much since.

He regularly appears on local radio and also contributed to the BBC television series I Love the 70s. He's currently co-scripting, with Martin Day, a proposed TV series for an independent production company.

His hobbies include socialising with friends, foreign travel, loud guitar-based pop music, trashy British horror movies of the 60s and 70s, football, comedy, murder and lots of other stuff. A Day in the Life is his 27th book.
