Chris Wooding grew up in a small town in Leicestershire, England, where not much of anything happened. So he started to write novels. He is the author of the PUSH novels Kerosene and Crashing; as well as the Broken Sky series; Malice and its sequel, Havoc; and the novels The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray, Poison, and The Storm Thief. He lives in England, where his addictions of coffee and anime continue to spiral.
