Alex Scarrow (born 14 February 1966) is a British author most known for his young adult science fiction series TimeRiders.[1]
Early life
Alex Scarrow used to be a rock guitarist in a band, spending ten years after college in the music business. He eventually figured that he would never become famous nor get a record deal. He left the music industry in order to become a graphic artist and then he decided to be a computer games designer. He worked on game titles[2] such as Waterworld, Evolva, The Thing, Spartan, Gates of Troy, Legion Arena, and Ultimate Soccer Manager.[3]
He started his writing career initially by writing screenplays, but after difficulty entering the business he turned his strongest screenplay into the successful A Thousand Suns novel.[4] He has since written a number of successful novels, including October Skies. He has also written several screenplays, and is currently writing a highly successful young adult fiction series,[5] which, according to his TimeRiders website, "Allowed him to really have fun with the ideas and concepts he was playing around with when designing games."[6]
He currently lives in Norwich with his son, Jacob and his partner, Debbie, and two rats.
