My roots are very firmly Cornish, and although I was born in Liskeard, I haven't lived there since I was six and we moved 'upcountry' to Devon. Since then I've been moving even more 'upcountry', to Bristol where I did my teacher training, to Forest Gate in Newham where I had my first teaching, and from there to Oxford, where I worked for BT for three years, and then Waltham Abbey. Finally to Norwich where my sons grew up and I taught music. Norwich is a wonderful place to live, but after twenty or so years, it was time to move again, this time to be with my partner, now my wife. I actually moved to 'The North' and now live in Worksop, Nottinghamshire.

Steven Decker
Steven Decker is the author of many novels, including the bestselling Time Chain series and Child of Another Kind. His love of writing was born on the day he threw a spitball at one of his 5th-grade classmates. Rather than punish him, his wise old teacher, Mrs. Brewer, called Steven to the front of the class and handed him a book of poetry. She quietly instructed him to memorize “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” by Robert Frost and informed him that he would be reciting the poem in front of the class the following day. Mrs. Brewer hit a home run.
