Challenge of the Gods

Michael Siddall was born in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England and his aspirations to become a novelist began after devising the board game 'Challenge of the Gods', which preceded his book of the same name. Educated at Newfield School in Sheffield, he left with exemplary grades in his final exams and went on to Granville College where he studied Art and Design, Literature and History. Times were hard and he left to become an carpet fitter.

A writer since school, he has written several novels of varying length: Challenge of the Gods being his first serious attempt at fantasy novel writing after completing a creative writing course. He has also written the Time Travel novels, All the Time in the World and Time and Time Again, besides the trilogy A Violent Man and a short novella entitled The Book, the Wand, the Magic. He still resides happily in Sheffield with his two sons Ben and Elijah.
