Darren Grey
Darren was already a prolific Sci-Fi author before he joined the Fantastic team to contribute to our anthologies. His work appears in Elite: Tales from the Frontier. He has also entered two of our competitions, the Sci-Fi Synthesis competition and the 666 horror, and both his entries made it into the anthologies. He is originally from Dublin and these days lives in London, working in project management in academic energy research.
His first experience of the Elite series was as a teenager. It changed his life, pushing him towards a degree in physics, a love of classical music and a fascination with procedural game design.
