A Yorkshireman living in the rural green hills of Lancashire, Michael Wombat is a man of huge beard. He has a penchant for good single-malts, inept football teams, big daft dogs and the diary of Mr. Samuel Pepys. Abducted by pirates at the age of twelve he quickly rose to captain the feared privateer ‘The Mrs. Nesbitt’ and terrorised the Skull Coast throughout his early twenties. Narrowly escaping the Revenue men by dressing as a burlesque dancer, he went on to work successively and successfully as a burlesque dancer, a forester, a busker, and a magic carpet salesman. The fact that he was once one of that forgotten company, the bus conductors, will immediately tell you that he is as old as the hills in which he lives. Nowadays he spends his time writing, telling tall tales in his bio, and pretending to take good photographs. You can have a good laugh at his blog or his photographs, but most of all please go and mock him mercilessly on Twitter or Facebook. Michael Wombat has published over one book. Other authors are available.

“Michael Wombat brought us to near tears by his short stories. He is a natural story teller.” – Diana Jackson, author of The Riduna Series.

Nick's life really has been stranger than fiction. He has travelled and worked in Africa, South America and all across Europe. His jobs have included digging ditches, reconstructing ancient monuments, protecting politicians and criminals, and the writer's standard of pumping gas. After gravitating to London, for many years his life included a mix of firearms, fast cars and fistfights. Now settled in rural Northamptonshire, he lives with his decidedly strange dog. Many of his eclectic publishing credits can be found on Amazon or via his intermittently populated writer's blog, 'Tales from a Tightrope'. He is definitely not working on a novel.
