Author Information
Jacky Smith (née Gunn) has run the Guinness World Record-winning fan club and been part of the Queen team for forty years to date. Born in Oxford, she now lives and works from a home office in Surrey. Jim Jenkins has been a Queen fan since the beginning and is the go-to Queen expert. He has written sleeve notes for Greatest Hits albums as well as video sleeve notes, and has been involved in various Queen-released projects over the years. Mike Cooper is a British voice talent who left big-city life in London for a log cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Mike is recognizable from his years with the BBC World Service, and as the narrator of countless television documentaries. A disruptive influence in school, Mike's first break in narration came at age six, when his teacher realized he could tell the afternoon story better than her (and she could get a nap by way of a bonus). When he's not in his home studio, you'll find him enjoying hobby farm life and tending to two charming pet goats, named Baxter and Hazel.
