About the Author

Imran has tried to leave Leicester a few times, but its become his place to wake up to two cats, freeze when the heating's off and most of all, get down to writing. From a young age, comments came in regarding his creativity and ability to tell stories. Though, he let other things get in the way, and it wasn't until the age of 29 that the bug to write awakened. A veteran of writing festivals, a presence on Twitter and gobbling up all forms of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, he hopes to bring a smile in the same way that others did to him as a child-reader. His preferred genre is Young Adult Science Fiction, and he has a tendency to throw a droid in each novel - literally throw.
