About the speakers
Mike Brooks was born in Ipswich, Suffolk and moved to Nottingham when he was 18 to go to university. He’s stayed there ever since and now lives with his wife, cats, snakes, and a collection of tropical fish. He is the author of the Keiko novels, sci-fi adventures that follow the escapades of those crewing the spaceship of the same name: Dark Run, Dark Sky and Dark Deeds.
Cat-servant and owner of more musical instruments than he can actually play, Matthew Ward is also the author of Legacy of Ash, architect of Coldharbour and Creative Consultant on Vermintide 2. He’s afflicted with an obsession for old places - castles, historic cities and the London Underground chief amongst them. After a decade serving as a principal architect for Games Workshop’s Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 properties, Matthew embarked on an adventure to tell stories set in worlds of his own design. He lives near Nottingham and writes to entertain anyone who feels there is not enough magic in the world.
