About the Author
Matt Ralphs (Author)
Matt Ralphs is a freelance writer of children's fiction and non-fiction. While working for many years as an editor he helped other writers create novels, comics, and lavish art books, including special editions made from engraved metal, branded wood and demon skin. He lives on the Grand Union Canal in England on a boat he christened Nostromo because Alien is his favourite film.
Gordy Wright (Illustrator)
Gordy is a UK based illustrator, printmaker and picture book maker who grew up in a small town on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors. He later moved south to Bristol to study illustration at the University of the West of England. When he's not painting and making books he enjoys being outside, be it riding his bike, having mini adventures in the countryside or just watching the birds in the garden. He also has an unhealthy addiction to collecting houseplants. More of Gordy's work can be found at gordywright.com.
