As a student Pamela's student jobs included: fishwife teaching basketball in America phlebotomist and Artist Liaison for a (really bad) Abba tribute band.Her top selling stories include The Spy Who Loved School Dinners which won the Blue Peter Best Story Award and My Head Teacher is a Vampire Rat which won The Children's Book Award.

Thomas works digitally drawing straight into his computer with his Wacom tablet and in the old fashioned way on paper with brush and ink and drawing pens. He loves to draw and doodle. He has a very loose grip on reality and enjoys disappearing into his own imagination in search of new characters worlds and ideas to draw.His work is influenced by his interest in all kinds of books films comics and Japanese video games. He loves Christmas and chocolate. He owns (almost) too many books.
