Occasionally write tie-in books for historical dramas on TV, children's picture books and short stories, mostly for charitable causes.

  Conn Iggulden

  Also publishes under author name C.F. Iggulden.
  
  I was born in the normal way in 1971, and vaguely remember half-pennies and sixpences. I have written for as long as I can remember: poetry, short stories and novels. It’s what I always wanted to do and read English at London University with writing in mind. I taught English for seven years and was Head of English at St. Gregory’s RC High School in London by the end of that period. I have enormous respect for those who still labour at the chalk-face. In truth, I can’t find it in me to miss the grind of paperwork and initiatives. I do miss the camaraderie of the smokers’ room, as well as the lessons where their faces lit up as they understood what I was wittering on about.

  Mike Gayle

  I was born in the 70s — the 70s were great. I would recommend them to anyone.
  
  I was also born in Birmingham — in my humble opinion the greatest city in the world with the nicest people too.
  
  I used to live in London — a great city too. But a bit on the pricey side.
  
  I also used to live in Manchester — another great city (although technically I lived in Salford which is next door but that’s sort of splitting hairs).
  
  Before I went to university I wanted to be a social worker — I have no idea why. It didn’t last long.
  
  After I left university I wanted to write for the NME — I’ve always loved music but it was only when I went to uni that it started loving me back. I can’t play any instruments or sing so writing about music seemed to make sense.
