Imran Siddiq may have tried to leave Leicester a few times, but it's become his place to wake up to two cats, freeze when the heating's off and most of all, get down to writing. During a night in the jungle (2007), the bug inside awakened, and since then he's been sacrificing every second that he can to write. A veteran of writing festivals, a presence on Twitter and always reading to find new worlds.His preferred genre is Science Fiction in YA, though will meddle with fantasy. He has a tendency to throw a droid in every novel -- literally.
