Ann M. Martin

Ann Matthews Martin was born on August 12, 1955. She grew up in Princeton, New Jersey, with her parents and her younger sister, Jane. After graduating from Smith College, Ann became a teacher and then an editor of children's books. She's now a full-time writer.

Ann gets the ideas for her books from many different places. Some are based on personal experiences, while others are based on childhood memories and feelings. Many are written about contemporary problems or events. All of Ann's characters, even the members of the Baby-sitters Club, are made up. But many of her characters are based on real people. Sometimes Ann names her characters after people she knows, and other times she simply chooses names that she likes.

Lucie Stevens

Lucie Stevens is a children’s author who grew up in a semi-rural area of Dharug Country, north-west of Sydney, and now lives on Gadigal land. She spent her childhood days clomping around in gumboots and her nights looking up at the stars. Her house was definitely not haunted. After working in Australian publishing houses for many years, Lucie moved to Berlin where she helped make kids’ education outreach programs for the UK and European Space Agencies. Her house in Berlin wasn’t haunted either, but she did live beside the cemetery where the Brothers Grimm are buried, so perhaps her neighbours were ghosts. R.I.P. Nanny Tobbins is Lucie’s first children’s novel. Look out for its sequel in 2026!
