That’s Barry J. Hutchison, the author of the Space Team and Dan Deadman Space Detective series. He lives in the Highlands of Scotland with his wife, two children, and infuriatingly upbeat dog. He has been a full-time author since 2008 (ish), mostly writing books for children and teenagers.
What's Space Team?
Space Team is a comedy science fiction series, following petty conman, Cal Carver, who is mistakenly abducted by aliens and thrust into a team of some of the galaxy’s Most Wanted. After discovering they were being set up by the president of the galaxy, Cal and the rest of the team decided to steal their spaceship and head off in search of adventure.
Their adventures have included saving an alien species and its god, fighting a giant spider-dragon, and watching Dorothy out of the Golden Girls battle a load of space bears.
Dorothy out of the Golden Girls?
What else has he done?
