From the back of the book The Book of the Still:

Paul Ebbs has wanted to write a Doctor Who novel since he realised he could pay off some of his debts by doing so.  He is thirty-mumble and has for the last fourteen years worked as a Psychiatric Nurse in some of the least salubrious locations imaginable.  He is currently script editor for BBV, and has written for Big Finish.  He also writes for the BBC1 medi-soap Doctors - and he's really rather happy that it has the word 'Doctor' in the title.  He lives in Essex and wholly wishes he didn't.

You will often find him being scarily load at conventions.
