It's been a while since I've written a new 'About' section. My previous quotes from happy customers looked like this: “Doug, your copy writing skills really are exceptional. Thank you for all the time and effort you have put into our website. It’s really appreciated.”But now I get all emotional inside when I see reviews like this: "I absolutely loved this book!! The plot is brilliant, the story is fast paced, making it a page turner. I couldn't wait to find out where Sally would end up next. I recommend this book for both children and adults. I can't wait to read the rest of the books in the series." (reader on Amazon)Yes, I've been a music industry agent, copywriter, artist, playscheme leader, photographer and dad. All these experiences were just preparation for a career as an author. As a boy, I ignored all the sensible books in the library and became hooked on stories about ghosts, strange mysteries, future worlds and unexpected adventures. Now, writing as Douglas Caleb, I'm writing them. Raised on a steady diet of Doctor Who, Enid Blyton, Susan Cooper, Star Trek, Alan Garner, Tintin, 2000AD, Neil Gaiman and The X Files, I'm on a mission to create stories that young readers (and their parents, because I've had experience with bedtimes) will love to read.I listen to soundtrack music when writing (and Radio 6 Music when not), love cooking and generally need more shelves for my ever-expanding collection of books.You can get PDF posters of the first 4 covers in the Our Weird World series when you sign up to my mailing list at www.douglascaleb.com, or peek behind the curtain of my world on Facebook and Instagram. I might even try TikTok one day…Thanks for reading! Doug.
