K. A. Reynolds is an autistic only child born and raised in Winnipeg Canada, currently residing in Maine. She began writing at eight years old, not long after her mother died. Words came to her then like friends holding lanterns up in the dark. And suddenly, the world grew a bit brighter, and Kristin didn’t feel so alone.
Chloe Dominique is a freelance illustrator and concept artist based in the UK, working across animation, video games and children's publishing. Originally from Yorkshire and now living in Norwich with a VFX wizard and their dog of mischief, Loki, you'll find her with a cup of tea in hand, illustrating her socks off in a plant-and-book-filled home studio.
