Originally from a small village in Northamptonshire, Gareth once ran his own theatre school. In 2018 he was selected as one of ten exceptional finalists onto the Penguin Random House Write Now scheme, and is now a full-time writer. Gareth lives in Nottingham with his partner, two huskies and two beautiful children.

For much of his life Tim has been scribbling down ideas and can usually be found with a pencil in one hand and a sketchbook in the other! He has a real passion for character design and storytelling and his other books include Pugicorn and Starwhal (both Hachette). Tim lives by the sea with his wife and their pets, Baxter the cockapoo and Alfie the cat.
