Chris Penycate

“OK, I’ll own up – I’m not really a writer- I’m a sound engineer, a technician, and we all know what this means culturally and traditionally; yer av’rage roadie has a vocabulary of about three hundred words, most of which are not family friendly, right?

Christian Nash

I am a fantasy author. The darker, the better. No frills, action packed fantasy with a twist of technology and magic. You can’t beat a massive sword! The bigger, the better. I write what I’d like to read, what David Gemmell inspired me to do, and what Mark Lawrence gave me to courage to try.

DG Jones

DG Jones lives in Essex, and currently works in the field of space robotics, which comes in pretty handy when it comes to thinking of ideas for new SF stories.

E.J. Tett was born in Somerset, England, in the 80s. She grew up in a little village and then moved to a town where she still lives, but from which she soon hopes to escape.

She left school at sixteen, studied Animal Care and Photography at college and now owns a dog called Beau and takes many photos of many things. Mainly the dog.

When not working as a psychiatrist, he wrestles with three overactive sons, plays sport and sometimes casts concrete gnomes.

Juliana S Mills

Juliana Spink Mills moved from England to Brazil at the age of eight, which probably explains her love of stories that take the reader through rabbit holes or wardrobes and into strange, new worlds.

Most of her work is middle grade or young adult fantasy, but she does enjoy the odd foray into adult speculative fiction.

Kenneth O’Brien

Kenneth O’Brien lives and works in Scotland. He is primarily a writer of Horror but, every now and then, likes to dip his toes into the swelling seas of both Fantasy and Science Fiction.

Kerry Buchanan

Kerry has had many careers: from veterinary surgeon to computer teacher; veterinary sub-editor to stable hand. Now approaching her half century and with teenage children becoming independent, she has finally made time to write.

She loves writing about dragons and magic, swords and sorcery, although she also likes to challenge herself with genres outside her comfort zone.

As a child, she discovered the shelves of yellow hardback Gollancz science fiction books at her local library, and she was hooked.

Roy Gray

Roy Gray lives in Macclesfield, Cheshire.
His ‘bibliography’ comprises a few short stories and some poetry. Roy has a namesake who writes erotic poetry which can be found online so maybe you should be careful if you Google Roy Gray.

Samanda R. Primeau

Samanda R. Primeau (it’s pronounced “Sam” – the rest is silent) is a jack-of-all-trades (or rather, jill) who has been, at one time or another, everything from a country radio DJ to a poker dealer to a pet store manager, but hopes to be just a writer when (if) she grows up.
