Michael Amos

Michael Amos was born in 1967 and grew up in various parts of the county of Kent in the United Kingdom. He was educated at St. George’s Church of England School, Gravesend, and Dover Grammar School for Boys, and went on to read Applied Biology at the University of Bath. He lives with his family in Oxfordshire, where he divides his time between the IT industry and writing. He has written articles on subjects as diverse as woolly mammoths and belly-dancing and has had work published in New Scientist, The Countryman, the BBC Radio Oxford Website, The Oxford Times and others. His previous fictional works include the short screenplay “Salesman on the Year, 2130”, produced by Lunah Productions and funded by the Galway Film Council, Ireland, in 2003. /Homeland/ is his first science-fiction novel and he is working a sequel. His first contemporary novel, /The Rocktastic Corduroy Peach/, is due for release by Samhain Publishing Ltd in August 2007. On the whole, he shouldn’t grumble but, nonetheless, would like to lodge a formal complaint with God.
