C.R. Harris

Harris was born and grew up on the outskirts of Liverpool, and now lives in Oxford, England.

Harris made industry-leading programmes on ethical selling in the financial services sector, and contributed to consultancy projects in two of the four major UK banks, and key players in the insurance industry in a pre-literary life.

Management development clients included biological and chemical research organisations, and government departments. Harris would tell you about some of the more interesting events, if they weren’t covered by the Official Secrets Act. But these experiences bring authenticity to fiction.

Part of the move to a more rewarding life experience was completing an MA in Creative Writing from Bath Spa University in England.

Steve Sheppard

Steve had his first book, A Very Important Teapot, published (by Claret Press) in 2019. He was 66 at the time. One of his many regrets is that it didn't happen when he was 26 but he spent 40 years not realising that the two keys to writing a successful novel are (a) "making it up as you go along" and (b) becoming a celebrity first, as that makes it a doddle selling it once written.

He has now "made up" two more books, Bored to Death in the Baltics and (published April 2024) Poor Table Manners. Together they make up the Dawson & Lucy Series.

Now if you're thinking that these titles (and the covers) suggest that the books are not entirely serious, you'd be correct. With A Very Important Teapot, Steve discovered that he'd inadvertently invented

Michael G. Kramer

Served Australian army, including war service in the Vietnam War in 1968 - 1969. Came home to public shunning of Vietnam Veterans and discrimination against Vietnam Veterans by potential employers. This resulted in the setting up of the first business, (contract fencing) because I could not get a job. In due course, I studied for Advanced Diploma of Egineering Technology, Associate Degree of Civil Engineering and I am now doing my Arts degree. It was during the study of the arts degree that I became interested in the history of Northern Europe and Germania during the times of Julius and Augustus Ceasar. This led to researching and writing of the second book entitled 'For the Love of Armin'. Currently studying Bachelor of Construction Manage

Having completed several Creative Writing courses, including at Birkbeck and Faber, I took up writing seriously in 2012.
My first novel ‘The Arbitrator’ was published in July 2016 and 'Get Rich or Get Lucky' was published in January 2017. Both books enjoyed surprising success and great reviews. Updated versions of Get Rich or Get Lucky and The Arbitrator (with two new chapters) along with e-books were published on Amazon in 2019.
My two new novels 'The Polymorph' and 'The Three Witches and The Master' are now ready and hopefully will be published in 2022.
l have also written two plays, one of which, 'Cheating Death' has been successfully produced on stage in February/March 2019 at The Cockpit Theatre, London. It ran for three weeks and enjoy

Sara Pascoe

I come to writing fiction after a career in psychology. I've had great fun in a lot of interesting jobs including bicycle mechanics, teaching chimps language, studying brains under the microscope, and working in the US Congress. I also worked as a clinical psychologist which was rewarding and moving.

I have lived on the East Coast, West Coast, and in the middle of the US. I now live in the United Kingdom, in a beach town where my husband and I have hosted lots of amazing English language students. I'm involved in climate action, and I write.

Jim Butcher

Jim Butcher is the author of the Dresden Files, the Codex Alera, and a new steampunk series, the Cinder Spires. His resume includes a laundry list of skills which were useful a couple of centuries ago, and he plays guitar quite badly. An avid gamer, he plays tabletop games in varying systems, a variety of video games on PC and console, and LARPs whenever he can make time for it. Jim currently resides mostly inside his own head, but his head can generally be found in his home town of Independence, Missouri.

Jim goes by the moniker Longshot in a number of online locales. He came by this name in the early 1990′s when he decided he would become a published author. Usually only 3 in 1000 who make such an attempt actually manage to become publishe
