When not making books, he teaches university-level Psychology, presents neuroscience shows and workshops around the UK, and makes podcasts about role-playing games. Originally from the north of Scotland, Nate now lives in South London with his partner and an extremely loud cat called Pinto.Sophie Escavy Lim grew up in France as the child of Chinese-Cambodian immigrants. She is a self-taught illustrator whose work spans editorial, publishing and commercial projects, including commissions for clients such as Penguin Books and Frankie Magazine.
