Karen Taylor

I started writing books around 18 years ago -- about two years before the birth of my son. It is no coincidence that for the past 16 years my work has tracked his progress -- from the fairytale world of The Toffee Makers, through to Sci-Fi and the Star Wars-inspired Turbulence, to the harsher realities of Off The Rails, my young adult book.

I'm a writer and journalist with over 25 years of editorial experience. I've contributed articles to newspapers, including The Financial Times, Evening Standard, and The Far Eastern Economic Review, as well as features for London Magazine and a variety of other publications. I am currently managing editor of Magazine World, the flagship title of FIPP -- The Worldwide Magazine Media Association.

O.C. Heaton

I write what I love to read - globetrotting, big issue thrillers that are super well researched inside complex plots full of twists and turns.

The result of the above is The Race Is On Series, an idea I had on a trip to Iceland. The first in the series is called LEAP, which tells the tale of a device which has the power to halt global warming. The ensuing race to control the power of this machine continues in:
- Green Ray, Book 2,
- ATOM INC, Book 3, and
- Godwin's Revenge, Book 4, which launches 31st March 2025.

I have also written a prequel to The Race Is On series called MAD which you can download for FREE off my website.

Stephen Oram

I write novels and flash fiction that are designed set off small firecrackers of thought to light the world slightly differently inside your head!

I've been a hippie-punk, a religious-squatter and a bureaucrat-anarchist; I thrive on contradictions and am a great believer in being slightly askew from the crowd. There's all sorts of ways of doing that - by being on the fringes of society, by travelling to other cultures or simply by being tipsy during the day.

I write contemporary dystopian fiction set in a recognisable near-future. I love taking reality, nudging it out of kilter and seeing what happens.

Like each and every one of us, my perspective of the world has been affected by many people and experiences: as a teenager I was heavily influ

P.J. Skinner

I write under several pen names and in various genres: PJ Skinner (Travel Adventures and Cozy/Cosy Mystery), Pip Skinner (Sci-Fi), Kate Foley (Irish contemporary), and Jessica Parkin (children’s illustrated books).
I moved to the south coast of England just before the Covid pandemic and after finishing my trilogy, The Green Family Saga, I planned the Seacastle Mysteries. I have always been a massive fan of crime and mystery and I guess it was inevitable I would turn my hand to a mystery series eventually. I will shortly publish the third book, Fatal Tribute.
Before I wrote novels, I spent 30 years working as an exploration geologist, managing remote sites and doing due diligence of projects in over thirty countries. During this time, I collec
