Paul is an anaesthetist with two young daughters, a pet dog, Milo, and two guinea pigs. Every night, he spends hours reading kids picture books to his kids before bed and has found great joy in the humour and wisdom these books can impart to both kids and adults. At work, Paul regularly cares for kids coming to surgery, often for the first time, and tries his best to make it a fun experience. Outside of medicine and writing, Paul has a bunch of hobbies, including gardening, pottery, travelling, renovating his house, reading up on dad jokes, running and learning guitar. Paul really hopes to create a bunch of funny and informative books for young readers.
Illustrator:
Amy has loved to draw from a young age and often made up games based around drawing to entertain her younger brother and cousins. Her artistic talent was noticed when she was accepted into fashion and textile design in high school, and later at TAFE. When she became a mother, she fell in love with picture book illustration and realised what her true potential could be. Amy has developed a few distinct styles and is always playing with new techniques to expand her repertoire. When Amy’s not doing her favourite thing (illustrating picture books), she’s roller skating (badly) or attempting a handstand while her kids whizz around her at great speed.
