When Jamie was five, he saw a Space Invaders arcade machine. It blew his mind and started a lifelong love of videogames. After graduating from London University, Jamie became a film critic for the BBC and contributing editor for Total Film magazine. He was sent to special movie screenings and fed free sandwiches. He thought it was the best job ever. But he was wrong… A little later, he wrote for videogame magazine EDGE and realised that you could actually get paid for shooting aliens in the face with shotguns. Since then he has worked as a screenwriter, speechwriter and as a narrative consultant for a big US tech company that swore him to secrecy. He has written several non-fiction books on everything from zombies to videogames. His fiction debut is the SKY WAKE trilogy for readers 9+ beginning in July 2021. It's a story about videogames, aliens and what it takes to be a leader.
