Jamie was brought up by loving ex-hippy parents who sold boomerangs for a living and had a hedge maze in their back garden. He was home-educated until the age of fourteen, before being eased gently into the idea that the world, by and large, expects you to get up earlier than is really civilised for the majority of your life.

Jamie trained as a biochemist at the University of Sussex. Following graduation, he realised he would find this deeply boring, and after a brief sojourn working in a school for deaf children (which he enjoyed much more than his home-educated prejudices had led him to believe), he studied medicine at the University of Warwick. He now works as a junior doctor, and writes science fiction mainly as a way to ground himself after long shifts in the bizarre fantasy world of the NHS.

He writes mainly speculative fiction, and “Theft On New Year’s Eve” is his first attempt to write a romantic story, gay, straight, or otherwise.

He has recently had his first novel, “The Fall of the Angel Nathalie,” published by Bedlam, an imprint of Necro Press. This is a dark fantasy/horror novel, more details of which can be

S.A. Check is the author of Welcome to GreenGrass released by Bedlam Press, an imprint for Necro Publications this past November. There are worlds outside of our perceptions.  Places where magic is alive and heroes find homes.  An escape from the harsh reality of living and a corner where our imaginations are kept safeguarded.  What is a portal other than a conduit, the turn of a page, letting go of the rules to believe in something we’re otherwise taught can’t exist.  We’ve all allowed ourselves to become lost in a book, a story, a movie and let that reality become our own, even for the briefest of times.  It’s there, in the brief moments that we allow fantasy to reflect into reality that as authors, we are given the privilege of building worlds to capture a reader’s imagination and attempt to hold on long enough to leave them with something more than when they started.  And if it can change a perception or add to a perspective, then we’ve accomplished something worthwhile.

Jane has  been writing stories all of her life  life, but in 2004, during her last year at university, she  made the decision to become a professional writer. She  completed her  Bachelor of Science, majoring in physics and astrophysics. A far cry from writing you might say. However, she loved doing science and found that inside a logical world could live the illogical. In the same way characters can be the chaos in a logical plot. 

Once she  finished university she focused more on writing and completed a creative writing course run by Queensland Tafe

She has  written twelve novels and many short stories during my career. She  loves writing epic fantasies, but dabbles in other speculative genre.She is  a member of the Qld Writers Centre, the Vision Writers Group and the Australasian Performing Rights Association (APRA).

Her aim is to provide new authors with the support and guidance that she received when was first starting writing.
