ABOUT THE AUTHOR

It is hard to tell where a story comes from.


Sometimes I write an idea down, sometimes Adam, the illustrator, draws a picture. Sometimes we both have the same idea at the same time which is when we know we are on the right track.


I then write down too many words, and Adam draws too many pictures.


Adam and I then spend the rest of our creative time arguing over which words and which pictures to use. Eventually, we believe we have chosen the right words and the right pictures for the story.


We then try to turn the words and pictures into a book and realise that, in fact, we must start all over again.


This is known as the artist’s journey.
