Tom Huddleston is an author, musician and film journalist based in Stoke Newington, East London. He was raised in North Yorkshire where his first novel, 2013's future-medieval fantasy The Waking World, was set.

He's since written three instalments in the official Star Wars: Adventures in Wild Space saga and is currently working on a series entitled Warhammer Adventures for Games Workshop. His interests include pizza, outdoor swimming, chewy sweets and watching far too many movies.

Sophy Williams is an award-winning illustrator with twenty-five years experience illustrating children's books. While still studying, she twice won prizes in the Readers Digest Young Illustrator's competition and was runner up for the Mother Goose Award for her first picture book.

She spent some of her childhood in exotic locations such as Singapore, Hong Kong and the Middle East and often finds her illustrations being influenced by these places. Her pictures are filled with atmosphere and drama created with soft pastels.

She now lives by the Kennet and Avon canal in Bradford on Avon with her husband, author/illustrator MP Robertson, their two lanky teenage sons and a mischievous grey cat called Hamish.

When not illustrating she sings and performs in a choir, grows fruit and veg on her allotment and drinks lots coffee with her friends
