Hi, I am Paul Teague, the author of The Secret Bunker Trilogy.
I am a former broadcaster and journalist with the BBC, but I have also worked as a primary school teacher, a disc jockey, a shopkeeper, a waiter and a sales rep.
I wrote my first book at the age of 9 years old.
Titled "Mr Plum And Mr Apple", the hand written story received the inevitable rejection slip, but that did not stop me dabbling with writing throughout my life.
I have written short stories, plays, letters for magazines and hundreds of web articles, even a couple of self-published marketing books, but never a full-size fiction book.
"The Secret Bunker" was inspired by a family visit to a remarkable, real-life secret bunker at Troywood, Fife.
I love dystopian fiction (I did not even realize that there was an official word for it until my daughter told me) so this competition has been a great opportunity to finally come up with my own vision of a future world where things are going haywire.
