Ras Ashcroft was born in 1987 and currently lives in the UK. He started work on his first novel at the age of 10, about two boys who found themselves trapped in a haunted amusement park. He didn't quite finish it, because of school commitments and being unable to find a way to write the main characters out of a deadly situation involving wise-cracking skeletons. He continued to work on short humorous fiction stories for the next 14 years until finally deciding to publish his first book, a humorous parody guide called 'Supervillain: The Concise Guide'. He continues to enjoy reading, writing, extreme scrabble and life.
