Autor/-in: Stephen Darnell

Steve lives in rural Oxfordshire with his wife, Sarah, and golden retriever, Evie. Being awarded a fifteen-yards swimming certificate at age nine and a prize book token for writing an essay about the Sun at secondary school were life-changing moments. These achievements led to a degree in Maths and Astronomy, and a fulfilling career in teaching and lecturing. Steve has had a lifelong passion for all things space-related and has thoroughly enjoyed writing his first novel Empire of Mars. He is currently working on the sequel.
