Mike Chinn


Mike Chinn is a horror, fantasy, science fiction and comics writer from Birmingham, England.
Chinn has been nominated for the British Fantasy Award for Best Collection and Best Short Story.
He created the Anglerre fantasy series and Robot Kid science fiction books for the Starblazer comic, published by D. C. Thomson & Co. Ltd. Starblazer has been resurrected as a licensed role-playing game from Cubicle 7 Entertainment, entitled Starblazer Adventures.

In 1998, Midlands-based, British Fantasy Award winning publisher The Alchemy Press published their first paperback: six short stories featuring Chinn's pulp adventure heroes, Damian Paladin and adventuress Leigh Oswin, The Paladin Mandates. In 2017, Pro Se Productions published further adventures of Paladin and Leigh in Walkers in Shadow. In 2015 the first of his Sherlock Holmes related pastiches was published.
