He grew up in a remote and beautiful part of South Shropshire. On reflection this seemed rather more remote than beautiful, owing to the fact that he lived in a small caravan without electricity, mains water or any sensible form of heating. He thinks that he’s probably one of the few people in his peer group to have learnt to read by gas lamp.
Surprisingly enough he has never been called ‘hippy’ (to the best of his knowledge)
Tom now lives in an actual house with his girlfriend and their two young sons.

When I'm not up to my knees in nappies, I write children's books. I also spend a fair amount of time eating chocolate. I try to write funny, read-aloud books that parents will enjoy as much as children - after all, if you have to share the same stories umpteen times, you may as well enjoy them.
I hope you like my books enough to read them umpteen times. Thank you - Michelle. -

Terhi Tarkiainen
Terhi Tarkiainen on kotoisin Lappeenrannasta, sittemmin helsinkiläistynyt, mutta aina karjalainen. Koulutukseltaan hän on humanisti, kirjoittajana kujeileva humoristi ja omaleimainen historiallisen romaanin taituri. Monipuolinen kirjailija tunnetaan niin 1700-luvun brittineidoista kertovasta Vallattomat viettelijät -sarjasta kuin nyky-Suomeen sijoittuvasta Verta hampaissa -vampyyrisarjasta. Jo nuorena Tarkiainen ilmoitti haluavansa Kaari Utrioksi Kaari Utrion paikalle, aikuisena hän on tyytyväinen vain saadessaan seurata perässä.

Maria Kuutti
Olen syntynyt 1980 ja elänyt suurimman osan elämästäni Kangasniemellä. Lapsuuteni asuin kyläkoulua vastapäätä ja tiesin kuulemma jo ekaluokkalaisena haluavani opettajaksi. Myös kirjoitusinto näkyi pienenä, sillä alaluokan opettajani kutsui minua runotytöksi. Äitini työskenteli pitkään kirjastovirkailijana, joten kirjat ovat kuuluneet aina merkittävänä osana elämääni.

Lukion jälkeen halusin opiskella kirjoittamista ja kirjallisuutta. Pääsin Helsingin yliopistoon ja opiskelin siellä yleistä kirjallisuustiedettä. Veri veti kuitenkin takaisin Kangasniemelle, joten viimeistelin maisterinopintoni Jyväskylässä. Minusta tuli äidinkielenopettaja vuonna 2005.
Kirjojen lisäksi toinen intohimoni on kuntoilu. Voin kertoa, että liikunta kannattaa aina, si
