The Book Drum Team
Webmaster: Mark Negus
Mark has been messing around with computers for nearly 30 years, working on projects as diverse as the London Stock Exchange to Big Brother voting. He’d like to think he is starting to get the hang of it all but...technology keeps on evolving. He lives near London and dreads the arrival of emails from Hector brimming with new ideas and features for Book Drum.
Favourite books include Snow Crash and anything by P.G. Wodehouse.
Editor: Hector Macdonald
Hector is the author of bestseller The Mind Game, which was translated into 20 languages and optioned by the producers of Harry Potter. His other novels are The Storm Prophet and The Hummingbird Saint. He grew up on the coast of Kenya, and has at various times set up home on five continents. He now lives in London, but still suffers from an endless need to travel the world in order to read good books in new places. www.hectormacdonald.com
Favourite books include English Passengers, Cloud Atlas, The Goneaway World, The Quiet American, and The Long Tail.
Legal: George Pennock
George has spent most of his career helping entrepreneurs fund and develop their ideas. He came up with the original concept for Book Drum in the belief that the Internet could help people gain greater enjoyment from the books they're reading, and encourage them to revisit favourite books from the past. He lives in London and splits his time between things entrepreneurial, his family and the occasional book. He is a founding partner of Beamreach Capital.
Favourite books include The Leopard, The End of the Affair, I Claudius, If this is a Man and For whom the Bell Tolls.
