About the Author
Paul Kane is the author of the Funnybones anthology and the two Dalton Quayle novellas from CGP. He was born in the town of Chesterfield, Derbyshire (UK), in 1973, and grew up on an estate not too far away. The son of a miner and a former secretary, Paul developed a taste for the strange and outlandish at an early age, after his grandad read him a bedtime story about a mysterious house that dwelt within in a sea of fog. A rich diet of programmes such as The Incredible Hulk, The Six Million Dollar Man, Dr Who, Star Trek and Blake's Seven fostered this obsession, as did the US and UK comics his father used to buy him on frequent trips to a nearby village - it wasn't long after that Paul started to write and draw his own amateur comic books, though he would only show these to friends and family.
Over the course of the last two years Paul has had stories published in major anthologies on both sides of the Atlantic featuring names like Ramsey Campbell, Steve Rasnic Tem, Christopher Fowler, Brian Stableford and Simon Clark. He is currently involved in various exciting projects - which include film work, a cartoon strip, an interactive role playing game and editing the Shadow Writer and Terror Tales print anthologies. Paul is also working as a lecturer in Film & Media Studies, Creative Writing and Art & Design at Chesterfield College.
