Lindsay MacLeod was something of a child prodigy, writing two adventure novels for children at the ages of 10 and 12 and getting them both published while still in her early teens. As an adult she then worked in publishing and graphic design and has recently returned to writing since having her own children. She lives in Glasgow.
Stephen Lambert trained at Reigate and Lincoln art colleges. He has illustrated several children's picture books, including The Train Ride, Fly by Night and What is the Sun? He lives in Cornwall.
