Steve Skidmore

Steve Skidmore is shorter than Steve Barlow and less hairy. He was born in Birstall, near Leicester in England. After managing to pass some exams at school, he went on to Nottingham University to read English, but spent most of his time playing sport and doing a variety of summer jobs including counting pastry pie lids (yes, really).
He trained as a teacher of Drama, English and Film studies and taught in several schools and colleges before teaming up with Steve Barlow to become a full time author.

He lives in Leicester and is a great rugby fan (he supports Leicester Tigers - "Come on you Tiiiiigeeeers!").
