** I am shocked to find that some people think a 2 star 'I liked it' rating is a bad rating. What? I liked it. I LIKED it! That means I read the whole thing, to the last page, in spite of my life raining comets on me. It's a good book that survives the reading process with me. If a book is so-so, it ends up under the bed somewhere, or maybe under a stinky judo bag in the back of the van. So a 2 star from me means,yes, I liked the book, and I'd loan it to a friend and it went everywhere in my jacket pocket or purse until I finished it. A 3 star means that I've ignored friends to finish it and my sink is full of dirty dishes. A 4 star means I'm probably in trouble with my editor for missing a deadline because I was reading this book. But I wa

Pauline Francis

I love books. I translated them when I lived in Africa – and I worked with them when I was a teacher and a librarian, but I never thought about writing them.

One day, about ten years ago, I decided to become a full-time writer.

My first books were for younger readers. In Drake’s Drummer Boy (1998), Will sails around the world with Sir Francis Drake; in Sam Stars at Shakespeare’s Globe (2006), Sam works with William Shakespeare.

As you can see, the sixteenth century fascinates me. A few years ago, I started to write for older readers, about people who faced very tough decisions in a world that was changing quickly: Lady Jane Grey, in Raven Queen; the lost colonists in A World Away; and the young Elizabeth in Traitor’s Kiss.

Paul Kearney

Paul Kearney was born in rural County Antrim, Ireland, in 1967. His father was a butcher, and his mother was a nurse. He rode horses, had lots of cousins, and cut turf and baled hay. He often smelled of cowshit.

He grew up through the worst of the 'Troubles' in Northern Ireland, a time when bombs and gunfire were part of every healthy young boy's adolescence. He developed an unhealthy interest in firearms and Blowing Things Up - but what growing boy hasn't?

By some fluke of fate he managed to get to Oxford University, and studied Old Norse, Anglo-Saxon and Middle English.

He began writing books because he had no other choice. His first, written at aged sixteen, was a magnificent epic, influenced heavily by James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, Robert

Robert Pilch

Vyrůstal jsem v prostředí, které bylo fantastikou přímo nasáklé. Není divu, oba rodiče byli před rokem 1989 aktivní scifisté, takže byla jen otázka času, kdy se nakazím i já.

Začalo to nenápadně, dětskými knihami s fantastickými motivy (Bulyčevovu Alenku s Malákovými ilustracemi mám dodneška rád), seriálem Návštěvníci, Verneovkami, komiksy z Abíčka, pokud se je podařilo sehnat…

Největší zlom ale nastal, když jsem na toaletě našel mámou rozečtené Heinleinovy Dveře do léta. Z toho záchodu jsem pak nevylezl pěkně dlouho… Ale nesmím zapomenout ani na Součka. Jsem jeden z těch, kteří mu první díl Cesty slepých ptáků sežrali i s navijákem.

Ben Wolf

At the age of nine, Ben Wolf slayed his first dragon.

As the dragon perished, it bequeathed a measure of its power to Ben.

It told him, "You now have the ability to lie more creatively than any other being on this planet--except for politicians. Use this power wisely."

The dragon died with one final puff of smoke from its lungs, but Ben Wolf lived on.

For years, Ben honed his craft. At the age of twelve, he lied to his sister about having thrown darts at a poster of her favorite boy band.

At the age of sixteen, he lied to a policeman who'd pulled him over for speeding, and it got him out of a ticket.

Ian’s earliest memories of science fiction are fragmented. He remembers loving Dr Who from an early age and other TV shows such as Lost in Space and Star Trek, but a defining moment came when he heard a radio adaptation of John Wyndham’s The Chrysalids. From that moment on he was hooked and became a frequent haunter of the local library, voraciously devouring the contents of their SF section.

My name is Luis, and I’m the black sheep of the family.

Born the scion of a household of magistrates and physicians, I was groomed from a young age to meet those expectations. I threw the chain of office away and became a bard instead.

I’ve since traveled the breadth of my homeland, picking up tales here and there. I’ve dined with aldermen and drank firewater with vagabonds; I’ve sung moonlit serenades to hussies and taken the daughters of wealthy merchants to grand balls. I’ve joined secret orders, learning their lore and passphrases; I’ve locked arms with tree-huggers and danced with them under the full moon.

But two things sing to my soul like nothing else. One, the roll of the dice, be it on the wood of the tabletop or within the shards of
