A reader of 2000 AD right from the very beginning, Michael is the creator of the acclaimed Quantum Prophecy/Super Human series of superhero novels for the Young Adult market. When Joseph Elliott-Coleman was 11 years old he read an X-Men comic and immediately knew that he wanted to tell stories for the rest of his life. When he was 16, he burnt every story he'd ever written because an alcoholic art teacher had told him he was no good; when he was 21 he met Warren Ellis, whose work reignited his creativity and set him back on the path. He's been writing ever since. Maura McHugh was born in the USA, but raised in Ireland, where she developed a love of mythology, horror fiction, art, and writing. She has lived in New York, Dublin, and Galway, and worked in IT before succumbing to her love of storytelling. She's the writer of the comic book series Jennifer Wilde and Roisin Dubh, co-writer of Witchfinder: The Mysteries of Unland, and author of the collections Twisted Fairy Tales and Twisted Myths.
