Tony Raine is a retired Educational Adviser who has taught secondary Science and specialised in library and resource provision. Much of his work has a Christian content, offering challenging progressive ideas about issues that concern Christianity today. He is a published playwright (Acting & Reacting published by Methodist Publishing House) and winner of the Playwright with a Conscience competition run by the Methodist recorder. His sketches have been performed at the Methodist Conference. He has established a successful Inner City Project for the Methodist Church. In addition to his Christian work, his scientific leanings have led him to write a number of Science Fiction titles (under the pen name of Antony Norman) and he has also published through Lulu some books for other authors in their own name.
