ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Duncan Saunders
Duncan Saunders has been a teacher, a professional wrestler, a martial arts instructor, a bartender, a charity manager and a Church youth worker, amongst other things.
However, his first job was working in a family owned supermarket; a literal "shop that sold everything" and it was here that the first ideas for this book were formed.
Duncan has described his writing style as "looking out of the window and thinking "what if?" (more on that later!)
Duncan lives with his family and cat in the shadow of the famous Uffington White Horse. One day, he hopes to meet a real dinosaur.
Duncan Saunders is the author of 4 young adult books; Dinosaurs, Aliens and The Shop That Sells Everything was his first published book and went to the top of the Amazon children's science fiction chart. Duncan has also written and co-written several pantomimes, which he has also performed in (Oh no he hasn't!)

Come along on Sunday morning to create your own speculative fantasy adventure!
Join Duncan as he reveals how he creates his fantasy adventures through an interactive workshop - by the end of it, you could have unlocked secret worlds, discovered strange creatures and encountered mystic powers, all through the power of your own imagination.
Duncan will also answer any questions about his books, and will happily sign copies for those who would like to buy one.
