Caleb, Douglas: - Douglas Caleb loves bringing fantasy into reality. Growing up on a steady diet of Doctor Who, Enid Blyton, Star Trek, Susan Cooper, Tintin, 2000AD, Rentaghost, Neil Gaiman and The X Files, he's on a mission to write books that young readers (and their parents, because he's had experience with bedtimes) will love to read. Or at least not want to put down.His 'Our Weird World' series for ages 8-12 features stories where ordinary children are thrust into extraordinary circumstances and somehow find their way through to an interesting ending.Douglas lives with his wife and two sons in Colchester, where life can be as weird as you want it to be. He listens to soundtrack music when he writes (and BBC 6 Music when he doesn't), loves cooking and generally needs more shelves for his ever-expanding collection of books.
