  Måns Gahrton

  Född 1961 i Lund, uppvuxen i Stockholm och bor i Nacka utanför Stockholm. Måns Gahrton är mycket produktiv som författare. Han tecknade sin första serie som femåring och skrev sin första bok när han var sex. Han fortsatte skriva berättelser under hela sin uppväxt, men det var första när han träffade illustratören Johan Unenge (vid den tiden reklamtecknare), som han vågade gå till ett förlag.
  
  "Vi träffades på en fest för tjugo år sedan. Jag ville göra serier, men kunde inte rita, Johan kunde rita, men inte skriva. ’Jag hittar på och du ritar’, föreslog jag fram på småtimmarna, och dan därpå träffades vi och satte igång med vår första figur, som vi döpte till Agent Annorlunda."

  Kathleen Grissom

  Born Kathleen Doepker, I was privileged as a child to be raised in Annaheim, Saskatchewan, a hamlet on the plains of Canada. Although we lived in a small, tightly knit Roman Catholic community, I was fortunate to have parents who were open to other religions and cultures. Since television was not a luxury our household could afford, books were the windows that expanded my world.
  
  Soon after Sister Colette, my first grade teacher, introduced me to Dick, Jane, and Sally, I began to read on my own. I was a fanciful child and became so influenced by books that while I was reading Five Little Peppers And How They Grew I ate only cold boiled potatoes (the truth is this lasted only for a day) as I suffered with them through their hardships.
