James Bagshawe

I work in TV development and have had a hand in a bunch of shows you probably hate like Big Brother and Deal or No Deal. Two of my sisters are published authors, and if you like chick lit or Sydney Sheldon, then I would heartily advise giving their books a try.

As my own tastes don't run to chick lit (and perhaps because my writing is not as good!), I've not had a great deal of commercial interest in my stuff. Horror is not a cool genre at the moment, which I consider a shame, given the rich heritage of James Herbert and Stephen King that I grew up with.

I live in the UK and I enjoy the ups and downs of creative life. Ok, let's face it, mostly downs. You might find me at my local pub quiz, out for a walk with the dog or enjoying a video game. I'm single and enjoy chatting up any woman who'll give me the time of day. As well as the horror stuff I've posted here, I have also written a series of books for young children, because I don't want people to think that it's only darkness and twisted visions that flows from my keyboard.

I might even get around to posting that here some day, if my first book gets enough interest. We'll see.
