A.I. Newton always wanted to travel into space, visit another planet, and meet an alien. When that plan didn't work out, he decided to do the next best thing---write stories about aliens and space travel! The Alien Next Door series gives him a chance to imagine what it's like to hang out with an alien. And you can do the same---unless, of course, you are lucky enough to live next door to a real-life alien! Anjan Sarkar graduated from Manchester Metropolitan University with a degree in illustration. After that, he worked as an illustrator and graphic designer before becoming a freelancer, where he gets to work on all sorts of different projects for people of all ages! He lives in Sheffield, UK.
