Alex Brantham is a recovering ex-corporate slave, having spent more years than were good for him toiling in the commercial jungle. He found the escape tunnel in 2009, and ever since has been catching up on a long-frustrated need to write fiction. Of course, there were colleagues at work who thought that his reports and proposals had more elements of fiction and humour than were strictly required, but he now has the chance to do it properly, without being struck down by the boss's red pen. Alex lives near Reading, UK, with his wife and cat.
