Chris Bridges is a writer who lives in the East Midlands, a place he has never managed to escape from yet. He divides
his time between devouring masses of fiction, theatre and cinema, dressing like a 1950's geography teacher and
reminiscing about his grisly past. Chris Bridges is a regular writer for TheGayUK and also writes more of his observations
on his blog: gayboyinterrupted.blogspot.co.uk | Antony Simpson is an avid reader and writer from the UK. Interested
in: literature, films, going out, staying in, gay rights, paganism and health. His ultimate ambition in life is to be happy and
to find love. Readers sit down with a mug of tea and enjoy his writing. | Daniel Browne is a multi-award nominated
hypnotherapist, diversity consultant, and writer, who also founded Push Projects LGBTQ youth support charity and the
Warwickshire Pride festival. A slightly batty creature who has frequent blonde moments, Daniel’s loves include sushi,
cake, the 80’s, Formula 1, Annie Lennox, and Ben Cohen. | Paul Szabo In between watching far too many films for his
own good, developing his photographer’s eye, singing (badly) to his CD collection, travelling, living at the theatre,
working hard to keep vulnerable young people safe and teaching scuba diving, Paul is very pleased to be writing for
TheGayUK. | Chris Jones lovely old drunk, craft and arty in equal measure - best taken with a large pinch of salt. Writer

Monty McKinnen I first picked up a camera when I was twelve and never looked back. The thrill of a developing image,
as it materialised under the red light in my old school’s darkroom, was too intoxicating. | Stephen Crowe is a beauty
specialist, model, blogger and avid tweeter. He lives in London, collecting sin care, spending too much time with the
heated blanket on and reading comic books. He dislikes being cold, heavy mental music, not being allowed to work naked
all the time and people who carry dogs in Louis Vuitton bags. | Roger Walker Dack RWD is an ex Menswear Designer,
and now the C.E.O. of The Designer Warehouse Sales in London. He is a dedicated cinephile and has lived Miami Beach
since 1997, He currently acts as a Program Consultant to 'O' Cinema in Miami's Wynwood District.| Alix Fox has written
about sex and relationships for everyone from Men’s Fitness to Bizarre magazine, so her nookie knowledge spans the
whole sexual spectrum from beginner and vanilla to the most obscure and fascinating kooky kinks. “I’m a strong advocate
of the idea that almost anything goes in the boudoir so long as it’s safe, consensual, and conscientiously considered, so
whatever rocks your world is unlikely to shock this girl!” she smiles. “Equally though, I don’t preach that you have to be
some kind of crazy wild child in order to have a satisfying love life – not at all. Sex isn’t a competition to see who can be
the most bonkers bonker, so I’m a big believer in getting the basics right, and recognising and developing whatever works
for you.” | George McPhail 30 Something in Glasgow. Bearded. Tattooed. World War Z: Zombie Survivor: Music
Blogger & DJ. Music, Movies, Sci-Fi, Technology get my geek on. | Harry Hitchens became known to the Great British
