Autorenportrait

James Devonshire was born and raised South London, from which he escaped using a mixture of science fiction and fantasy in any medium he could grasp. Over the last few shameful decades, he accidentally became a hardened TV professional and award-winning script writer, developing a grubby sitcom for an American network, shorts shown in dingy English pubs and glittering international film festivals and full length features with geek favourites attached. He decided to create the world of The Wonder as a novel when he discovered the reader's imagination had both the cheapest and richest effects budget.
