Huw Powell was born in August 1976 in Bristol during the hottest summer on record. He grew up in the village of Pill in North Somerset, where he wrote his first stories for friends and family. His best subjects at school were English Literature and Art, both of which he went on to study at university. Huw started writing novels while working in London for Lloyds Bank. He now lives in Portishead with his wife Beata and their two energetic sons. When he's not sat at his computer, Huw enjoys watching films and spending time with his family. Spacejackers is his first book for children.
