The following biography excerpt is taken from www.mike-wilks.com.

"After art school I embarked on a career in graphic design eventually founding my own design group, TWD, in 1970. Five years later, on the back of great success, I sold the company and began a second career writing and illustrating my own books. I have published eight works so far, two of which have been best sellers. I moved to the south of France in 1988 and later featured in an award-winning BBC television documentary chronicling my life and work. I have had four one-man exhibitions as well as contributing to various group shows. My original paintings and drawings can be found in major public and private collections in Europe and the USA. I am now once again based in London where I'm busy writing novels. The first of these, Mirrorscape will be published in October 2007 and it's sequels, Mirrorstorm and Mirrorshade, in the following years."

"An endearing hero, a cast of incredible characters and a plot that will keep you breathlessly turning the pages. Mirrorscape is magical and enthralling" Jenny Nimmo, author of the Charlie Bone series

"The special thing that Wilks brings to his tale is the artist's eye" Philip Ardagh, Guardian Review
