Mike ChinnMike Chinn lives in Birmingham with his wife Caroline and their tribe of guinea pigs. He's written fiction that runs from Westerns to Sword & Sorcery and Space Opera, via Horror and his British Fantasy Award short-listed Damian Paladin pulp adventurestories (along with its ever expanding universe) to the occasional Sherlock Holmes pastiche, as well as editing four books for The Alchemy Press (Swords Against the Millennium, and Pulp Heroes volumes one to three). The Batrix & Scilli books grew out of his love of Fantasy fiction and Alistair MacLean style thrillers, and a desire to somehow combine the two. Read More Read Less
