Bio

I am a Dutch sf writer and illustrator with the quite unpronounceable name of Thijs van Ebbenhorst Tengbergen, which I shortened to Tais Teng to leave room for exploding spaceships or clever steampunk ladies on the covers of my novels.

My drawings range from talking teapots to quite beautiful bat-winged ladies with a bad character.

In my own language, I have written everything from radio plays to hefty fantasy trilogies. One was even a mythos novel with Paul Harland: Computercode Cthulhu.

To date I sold sixty-nine stories in the English language and two children’s books: When the Night-gaunt knows your name and The Emerald Boy, Both with a generous helping of horror.

Spatterlight recently published my  YA novel Phaedra: Alastor 824, set in  the universe of Jack Vance.

My most recent sales are to Daily science fiction and Tales from the Magician’s Skull.
