About the Author

Luke McEwen was born in Chichester, West Sussex, UK in 1964, the second son of Andrew and Anitra McEwen. His father was a journalist for the Daily Mail for twenty six years, finally ending that career as chief diplomatic correspondent to the Financial Times. Luke spent four years of his childhood in Freeport, New York, and eighteen months in Brussels, where he attended the Common Market School. He finally returned to his home town nine years later in 1973. Luke went to the University of East Anglia and studied Politics and Sociology. Just to avoid any confusion, he sadly did not attend the UEA's famous writing course. But did attend Chichester College's creative writing course led by Julia Homan. Luke continues to work and live in Chichester with his son. He is a keen potter and painter, tennis and saxophone player. He has a blog and writer's website at www.lukemcewen.co.uk

Store Description

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we?re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.
