edit data

Iain Grant is, with Heide Goody, co-author of more books than he can count.

Lots of people seem to like the Clovenhoof books, in which Satan loses his job and has to move to suburbia.

The Oddjobs series of books is also very popular, in which alien horrors set to invade our world must first get past the British civil servants assigned to keeping them under wraps.

Heide and Iain are also responsible for various other bits of funny and fantastical nonsense.
