From "About the Authors" in Short Trips:
Guy Clapperton has written for radio and TV, including Spitting Image, Doon Your Way and Bits from Last Week's Radio, as well as the Newsrevue cabaret on stage. He previously contributed to the short-story collection Decalog 3. He is also a journalist and has contributed to The Times, the Daily Telegraph, Punch, the Guardian, the Oldie and more computer publications than he likes to admit to, except when he's talking to his bank manager.
