Liverpool born Bob Stone is an author and bookshop owner. He has been writing for as long as he could hold a pen and some would say his handwriting has never improved. He is the author of two self-published children's books, A Bushy Tale and A Bushy Tale: The Brush Off. Missing Beat, the first in a trilogy for Young Adults, is his first full-length novel.

Bob still lives in Liverpool with his wife and cat and sees no reason to change any of that.

Gemma Dolan lives in Liverpool with her family and paints as often she can. This is her first illustration project, and she hopes it is just the first step on the road she wants to follow. She is always happy to discuss new commissions. Follow her on Facebook or on Instagram: @gemsartwork
