Joseph Henry Delaney is an author of science fiction and fantasy books.
His writing career began with the release of the erotic sci-fi thriller Mercer's Whore, written under the pen-name of J.K. Haderack. This was followed up by, under his real name, the first in the Spook's trilogy, The Spook's Apprentice.

[edit] Early Work
Joseph Delaney was an English, Media Studies and Film Studies professor at the Blackpool Sixth Form College for twenty years. He specialised in vampire literature.
"The County", as written about in the books, is based upon Lancashire in the north of England. The locations concerned are also largely based upon those known to Delaney, for example, the town of Priestown is based loosely on Preston. He still lives in the county with his family.
