A. Iles

You were told you could be whatever you wanted to be, to shoot for the stars and you would land on the moon. The problem is, when you've been shooting for the stars, landing on the moon feels like a disappointment.

Enter our author. Angelique Iles grew up on Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl, and she dreamed of having an exciting fantasy filled life with magic, fairies, and talking black cats. Imagine her disappointment when she found herself working a safe job with a pension and no cat or pixie in sight.

Huw Langridge

Thanks to his English teacher at Holland Park School, Huw realised that writing (and reading) was actually pretty enjoyable, but it wasn’t until a few things happened during the 1990s that he realised that he could be inspired into bringing out his own literary voice.

Whilst lying on his back in the middle of a starry night with a bunch of friends on a summer beach holiday in Selsey Bill, staring into space while a CD player filled their heads with the epic 46-minute ambient track “Waiting for Cousteau” by Jean-Michel Jarre, Huw was filled with the vertiginous sensation that he could actually by lying on the bottom of the Earth, looking down at the universe, and it was only a little bit of gravity that was holding him in place.

Craig Leener

Despite being relatively earthbound most of the time, Craig Leener has long maintained a keen interest in space travel. He’s also a big fan of basketball, having immersed himself in the game since his youth as a player, coach, referee, fan and, later in life, as a sportswriter.

Craig has an above-average ability to go to his left and maintains a solid perimeter jumper. His free-throw percentage on his backyard home court is an implausible 87% — and to this day, that number remains 100% officially unverified. And what the author lacks in foot speed, leaping ability, and defense, he makes up for in court smarts and postgame snacks.

Craig is a lifelong opponent of the instant replay in sports. He maintains this contrarian point of view because o
