About this title

About the Author:

This story is the first of a group effort, written by a total of six final hands. Out of the six writers-Sam, Ben, Toby, Nick, Becky, and Philippa, three are known dyslexics. However, this does not stop their passion. It does not stop their wild imagination, and fascinating knowledge that pours out on a Thursday night onto a small table, tucked between the English and Maths rooms of a small country high school.

Of course, life isn't always about writing. the main part of life is about experiencing all it has to offer. For myself, I enjoy being part of St Mary's And St Chad's Brewood Bellringers. I play an active part in Penkridge St John Ambulance, treating the community ant many local events. I am currently in employment, wheras my collegues are all in education, either at college, or applying for higher education at University level. With regards to our novel, for each of us there was a role. Ben and Becky store between them a mine of knowledge on alternate worlds, and the dark and mysterious myths behind them. Sam has the film aspect; what has been seen before, and suggested ideas for when we got truly stuck. Nick was part of the original four-a rock in the after-school writing group. When he left for college, I rejoined, able to now pick up the fascinating new story, now an after school PE club had stopped. Toby also joined,
