Jack was born and raised in Speke Liverpool to Irish immigrant parents and knows Mersyside like the back of his hand.

Airedale is his first cyberpunk novel, a crime thriller set a near-future northern England, riven with corruption, social unrest and urban decay.

Agnes was born in Scotland but has lived in the North West of England since early childhood. Manchester is one of her loves and she's watched the city grow and change over the years. She's fond of the hills and countryside that surround the city, preferring the rugged Pennine landscape that borders West Yorkshire.

Chris is studying for an MA in Creative Writing at Manchester Metropolitan University, while working on his first novel. Bones is his first published piece of short fiction and follows the conversation between two old-guard Mancunian criminals as they contemplate the past and what the future means for them both.
