Danielle McLean is a children's book editor who lives in South London, England. When she's not writing and editing children's books, she can be found in a ballet class pursuing her other childhood dream. Vicki Gausden spent her childhood in various military camps scattered around the globe and is primarily solar-powered, most likely due to her Maltese genes. She spends most of her income funding her book habit and has a slight obsession with the 6B pencil. She's been a vegetarian since the age of 11 and is a proud Blue Peter badge-holder. She attained a BA (with honors) and MDes in illustration from Edinburgh College of Art, and currently lives on the edge of the South Downs with two ridiculously small dogs and one very patient husband.
