About the Author: Sam Enthoven

My name is Sam Enthoven. I live in London, England, and I write fantastical action thrillers for 11-15 year-olds. If you're reading this, you've reached the 'portal page' of my sinister, ever-evolving internet empire – bwah-ha, bwah-HA-HA-HA! Er, sorry.

With his rollicking 2006 debut THE BLACK TATTOO Sam Enthoven fulfilled his dream to become an internationally published author of fantastical action thrillers for young people. Since then he's been touring schools and libraries, inspiring hundreds of budding readers with his passion and enthusiasm. His second book TIM, DEFENDER OF THE EARTH was shortlisted for the 2008 Waterstone's Children's Prize and has been optioned by a major Hollywood studio. CRAWLERS is his third – or as Sam modestly puts it, 'Phase Three of my Sinister Masterplan to Conquer the Universe!'
