Book description
In Russian Gold an armoured convoy has been attacked in Moscow and
hundreds of gold bars stolen. But who was behind the raid, and where is
the gold? Get to Russia, get the clues and get the gold. Steve Barlow
was born in Britain (in Crewe, in the county of Cheshire). He went to
Brierley Street School, which was like Bash Street only not as
sophisticated, then to Crewe County Grammar School for Boys. He went on
to study at Warwick University and Nottingham University, and worked at
various times as a teacher, actor, stage manager and puppeteer. Then he
went to teach in Botswana, where a valid excuse for students not handing
in their homework was 'A goat ate it, sir!'. On his return to the UK he
met Steve Skidmore, and the rest is hysteria. Steve Skidmore is shorter
than Steve Barlow and less hairy. He was born in Birstall near Leicester
in England. After managing to pass some exams at school, he went on to
Nottingham University to supposedly read English, but spent most of his
time playing sport and doing a variety of summer jobs including counting
pastry pie lids (yes, really). He trained as a teacher of Drama, English
and Film studies, before teaming up with Steve Barlow to become a full
time author. He lives in Leicester and is a great rugby fan (he supports
Leicester Tigers - 'Come on you Tiiiiigeeeers!').
