Contributing Writers and Illustrators
Garth Edwards – Author of the Adventures of Titch & Mitch
Garth Edwards began his professional life as a biochemist. He developed his literary talents telling the Titch & Mitch stories to his children. Years later, he told the same stories to his grandchildren, who didn't understand why they couldn't buy Titch & Mitch at the bookshop. Finally, Garth bowed to popular demand and wrote the stories down. Garth Edwards lives in the Wirral, with his wife, Patty and dog, Juno.
Max Stasyuk – illustrator of the Adventures of Titch & Mitch
Max has illustrated many works for children and also undertaken many advertising and design commissions. He lives and works in the Ukraine, just outside Kiev.
Carol Furlong – author of Killer Strangelets and Killer Genes, the first two ARCTIC6 Adventures
Carol grew up in Ireland and studied Science at Carlow Institute of Technology, and promptly forgot most of it. After travelling in Europe, working in the music business in London and in the fashion business in Antwerp, a childhood love of adventure stories, coupled with the long neglected interest in science, resulted in the creation of The A.R.C.T.I.C. 6. She is married with two young children and currently lives in the remote wilds of Suffolk.
Panama Oxridge – author of Justin Thyme
Once a successful author of picture-puzzle books, Panama Oxridge accidentally happened upon the secret of time-travel and, ever since, has been forced to adopt a pseudonym, wear a series of disguises and move house thirteen times! One day, the author would like to travel back in time to the historical moment young Isaac Newton discovered gravity. "I've always wondered if an apple really did fall on the poor lad's head!"
Jenny Capon – illustrator of A Little Book of Alliterations
Jenny Capon is a freelance illustrator living and working in London. She graduated with a Fine Art degree from Edinburgh University in 2002, and in 2009 completed an MA in Illustration at Camberwell College of Art, London.
