From About the Author in To the Slaughter:

Stephen Colde lives in Buckinghamshire with wife Jill and baby Tobey.  He used to edit books and magazines, including the BBC's range of Doctor Who novels.  Now he spends most of his time writing.

As well as several Doctor Who novels and audio plays he has written all sorts of books for children young and old, including the Wereling trilogy of horror thrillers for young adults, published by Bloomsbury, and 'Essential Guides' to such movies as Shrek and The Incredibles for Penguin.

He has two original fiction series for kids due out in 2005: Astrosaurs!, published by Random House, and One Weird Day at Freekham High by Oxford University Press.

Another upcoming project is a novel called The Monsters Inside, tying in to the brand-new BBC TV series of Doctor Who.
