John Donoghue

I never set out to be a writer… I wanted to be a sailor… and a soldier… and a policeman...so that's what I did.

I've travelled the world serving in the Royal Navy and then the British Army. When I left, I joined the police where I'm still a serving officer.

I soon found out in my varied careers that FACT is stranger then FICTION. I'd come across so many funny, bizarre and interesting tales that I felt it was a crime not to write them down... otherwise they just get forgotten.

So that's what I did and to date, I've have written four books based on my experiences...

The police books, in 'The True Story of a Front Line Officer' series include:

'Police, Crime & 999'

'Police, Lies & Alibis'

'Police, Arrests & Suspects'

Tony James Slater

Tony James Slater is a very, very strange man. He believes himself to be indestructible, despite considerable evidence to the contrary. He sometimes makes strange faces whilst pretending to be attacked by inanimate objects. But perhaps his single biggest problem is this; he has a mouth so big he is in danger of swallowing his own head. As a result he often ends up far from mainstream civilization, tackling ridiculous challenges and subjecting himself to constant danger. He gets hurt quite a lot.

Dorothy Koomson

Hello, my name's Dorothy Koomson and I'll try to make this bit that's all about me as interesting as possible.
I wrote my first novel called There's A Thin Line Between Love And Hate when I was 13. I used to write a chapter every night then pass it around to my fellow convent school pupils every morning, and they seemed to love it.

I grew up in London and then grew up again in Leeds when I went to university. I eventually returned to London to study for my masters degree and stayed put for the following years. I took up various temping jobs and eventually got my big break writing, editing and subbing for various women's magazines and national papers.

Paul Hawkins

Paul Hawkins is - according to the numbers - a full-grown British “adult.” While he participates begrudgingly in the economy as a humourist - the minimum viable job - he prefers to spend his time luxuriously faffing and/or travelling the world in search of an elusive and undeserved retirement. To this end, his life-long pilgrimage to avoid a “proper” job has deposited him in the Holy Mecca of Delayed Responsibility-Seekers: Berlin. He continues to write and draw things (mostly reluctantly as deadlines loom), just as the boringly villainous institutions of adulthood continue to hound him… except now in the far more terrifying German language.

His books include the Der Spiegel bestseller Denglisch for Better Knowers (Ullstein, 2013), iHuman:
