Andrew Reid is a writer obsessed with the fantastic and the adventurous. Born in Scotland, he lives in Yorkshire with four chickens, three cats, and an ever-growing stack of unsold novels. You can find him on Twitter as @mygoditsraining, where he will be overjoyed by any mention of movies from
the eighties or nineties.

C.J. Paget hates writing bios. Bios remind him that he’s got none of the qualifications to be a science-fiction writer. He doesn’t have a PhD in Astro-physics. He wasn’t born into a literary or scientific family. He’s never worked in interesting fields or places. He wasn’t there when major world events went down. He’s never lived in far-off places and bathed in the tides of other cultures. He doesn’t even own a cat. He did win the 2011 James White Award. So that’s something.

Francesca Terminiello lives in Surrey with her family and a growing collection of swords. She has previously contributed

Her own blog can be found at http://franterminiello.wordpress.com/ where she juggles both pen and sword.

She reviews for the web and magazines notably Interzone and Albedo One, teaches creative writing from time to time and fits all this around her husband and teenage sons. She writes diverse shorter fiction from stories for themed anthologies to a handful of tales for Doctor Who, Torchwood and Warhammer 40k, always enjoying the challenge of writing something new and different to her novels.

Born the same year as the Russians launched Sputnik, S.J.Higbee confidently expected that by the time she reached adulthood, the human race would have a pioneer colony on the Moon and be heading off towards Mars. So she was at a loss to know what to do once she realised the Final Frontier wasn’t an option and rather lost her head – she tried a lot of jobs she didn’t like and married a totally unsuitable man. Now she’s finally come to terms with the fact that she’ll never leave Earth, she has a lovely time writing science fiction
novels and teaching Creative Writing at Northbrook College in Worthing. She lives in Littlehampton on the English south
coast with a wonderful husband and a ridiculous number of books.

Alec McQuay hates writing bios but mean people keep making him. During happier times he writes from his home in Cornwall, trying to make some progress before he passes out and the cats start licking his eyelids. He loves science fiction, horror and action movies, playing the guitar and once hugged Kriss Akabusi. When he’s not writing he probably should be, but instead of that he lifts weights. Big ones. He’s really very impressive.

Imprisoned, for a crime she more than likely committed, deep beneath the majestic Alps in a treacherous network of caves, the Right Reverend Chloë Yates chisels her work by candlelight and then hoists the inscribed tablets topside via a complicated system of ropes and pulleys, achieved only with the assistance of her rodent bandit army. No one knows what she looks like, both because it is dark down there and the last known portrait of her was painted by that infamous forger of the seventeenth century, Count Shen A. Nigan, but you can find her work on the fabled internet via the portal www.chloeyates.com or follow her on the fading path that is twitter via
the moniker @shloobee
