About John Condon

John Condon (Author) When John was a child he was always drawing. So much so that his mother and most of his teachers assumed he would one day become an illustrator or a designer; certainly not an author. Okay technically he did become a designer... but he's an author too. Which doesn't surprise John in the least. John was born and raised in London but he currently lives on its outskirts where it's a little leafier. Importantly for him though it's just a train ride away from the buzz of town. His favourite holidays involve the sea which inspires many of his story ideas. Although he doesn't like to swim in it he finds the sound of the waves calming and life affirming. He hopes one day to live close enough to the sea to hear it always. As long as it's not too far from London. Obviously!Matt Hunt (Illustrator) Matt Hunt was born in Redditch Worcestershire in 1988. Starting out as a fine artist he graduated from the Birmingham School of Art and from these roots developed a love for children's illustration. He currently shares a house with his wife Hayley and two cats. Matt works in mixed media utilising paint pens crayons and digital. He loves to create new and interesting characters and write stories for them. He's influenced by old movies classic illustration cartoons and books.
