Ian Kidd

I grew up in South Yorkshire, England, before emigrating to South Australia at the age of sixteen. My writing ambitions began as a child, when I became notorious in my class for writing short horror stories that would probably have them calling in the child psychologists nowadays! I have written everything from non-fiction ebooks to published short fiction, and served as script editor on two proposed horror feature film scripts for an LA based director. In terms of fiction I have written dozens of novellas, including more than 70 stories in the "Ian's Gang" sci-fi adventure series. I still live in Queensland, where I work as a freelance writer.

And what has your Lord done to stop us? Larry leered. He has let us. He doesn't care! He doesn't give a damn!

Wilcox was purple with fury. He does care!

Larry smiled. "Then He cannot win. He obviously doesn't have the power to stop my Lord."

It was the last straw. With a cry of rage, Wilcox struck Larry across the face. The police will hear of this! he bellowed, and stalked back toward his church.

He was a man of the cloth.

He believed he had God's ear.

He was also a fool.

The church of the Reverend Jonathan Wilcox was cordoned off, police there in force to surround the place as Ian's Gang pulled up, jumped out of their van, and ran to the officers.

Acting Police Chief Samuel Robards, the in-hospital Steven Brick's temporary replacement, was a dark-haired, thin-faced little man who looked like he had a permanent bad smell under his nose, was less than
