About the Author

Candi Williams (Author)

Candi Williams is a published author, word nerd and plant mum who lives in beautiful Bristol. She s written books on everything from iconic women to the surprising joys of being single and perfectly imperfect mostly in her pyjamas. When she s not tapping away, you ll probably find her cooking up something delicious, eating up something delicious, unwinding in a pilates/yoga/mindfulness class or finding an excuse to drink wine with lovely friends. As an outstandingly clumsy human, she generally tries to avoid enjoying yoga and wine simultaneously for obvious reasons.

Phil Shaw (Illustrator)

Phil Shaw is an illustrator, prop maker, seamster, model and film extra. He works on any creative project that he can, from props on high-budget blockbuster movies to costumes for local drag queens. He lives in Brighton and enjoys making jam.
