Shaun began drawing and painting images for science fiction and horror stories in small-press magazines as a teenager, and has since then he has received numerous awards for his picture books, including the CBCA (Children's Book Council of Australia) Picture Book of the Year Award for 'The Rabbits' with John Marsden.

Later moving to the generic southern suburbs of Perth, Mark continued to draw inspiration from the everyday. Mark's philosophy is to inspire by bringing beauty to the mundane and highlighting the magic of the mediocre. Tom TaylorOnce a professional juggler and fire eater, Tom Taylor is now a multi-award-winning playwright whose comedy, drama and musical works have been produced across four continents (it’s hard to get a gig in Antarctica). However, theatre, like crime, doesn’t pay. Fortunately, Tom has found his way into writing TV, film, radio, magazines and, his favourite medium, comics. As well as busily writing 'Brief Cases' (A book that will change lives), Tom is the writer of The Authority, Star Wars: Invasion, a Dark Horse Comics series, which is being illustrated by his good friend, Colin Wilson and Rombies, illustrated by Skye Ogden.
