Jorge Salgado-Reyes (born April 23, 1968) is a Chilean and British sci-fi, cyberpunk author, private investigator and photographer. Born in Temuco, Chile, Salgado-Reyes left his country of birth at age seven in 1975 with his family into exile due to the Pinochet dictatorship. Subsequently brought up in the United Kingdom, he changed residence frequently with his family as a child. Salgado-Reyes became somewhat of a loner who read science fiction from an early age. After spending his adolescence in Mozambique, he returned to the UK where he completed his education. In 2012, he made the decision to move to Chile although he spends time in London as well.
In 2011, Salgado-Reyes began writing his first novel, The Smoke in Death’s Eye, a work still in progress. It combines elements of cyberpunk and hardboiled detective fiction. It features the antihero Ángel Castillo and is set in London. Author Paul Dorset interviewed Salgado-Reyes in 2012 where he discusses his novel saying, "This is a cyberpunk/thriller of a novel, geographically set in “the smoke” (i.e. London) about a 150 years in a dystopian future. The protagonist is a private investigator whose agency is tasked with investigating a serial killer. The novel starts with the serial killer stalking and interrogating his victim (who dies as a result of the interrogation) in a derelict building in a suburb of south London. This victim is not the killer's first, with the killings going back for decades."
On June 1, 2011, Salgado-Reyes, along with his sibling Eduardo Salgado-Reyes and mother Myriam Reyes Pena, founded his family-run hybrid publisher Indie Authors Press to publish their collective literary works.
In 2012, Indie Authors Press published Salgado-Reyes’ first reference book, British Process Servers Guide written in collaboration with Stuart Withers and Helen Withers. Salgado-Reyes calls it, “The essential guide to the successful completion of all legal process.”
The author has published the cyberpunk anthology Altered States with Roy C. Booth, Speculative Valentine Drabbles 2015 and Corpus Deluxe: Undead Tales of Terror through Indie Authors Press and is currently co-editing Altered States II.
