Mjke Wood

Mjke was born on the Isle of Man and now lives in the Wirral, UK.

He began writing in his late twenties, but took a break in order to concentrate on accountancy exams. He returned to writing in 2007, and became the first winner of the Jim Baen Memorial Writing competition. He followed that, a year later, by winning the L Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Competition. His science fiction and fantasy short stories have appeared in many print and online venues. He is an active member of SFWA, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, as well as the British Science Fiction Association (BSFA) and the British Fantasy Society (BFS).

Mjke is passionate about caravanning, and, writing as Mike Wood, he loves to share his experiences and misadventures through his sofa travel writing.

Mjke has worked as a finance manager for an international passenger transport company, and as a musician, playing alto saxophone and clarinet in big bands and pit orchestras around Merseyside and North Wales. Inevitably, several of his books and stories feature accountants, music and musicians.
