Simon Cheshire's first novel, Jeremy Brown of the Secret Service was published in 1997. Since then, Simon has written several other novels for children and young adults, including six titles in the Saxby Smart series (Piccadilly Press), detective stories aimed at 9-11 year olds. Deadline is Simon's first title for A&C Black. Kate Pankhurst is the bestselling author and illustrator of the trailblazing and internationally successful Fantastically Great Women books. Kate's books have been translated into 22 languages and been shortlisted for many awards, including the NIBBIES award for Children's Illustrated & Non-fiction. Most recently, her first book Fantastically Great Women who Changed the World has been adapted into an inspiring stage show, touring the UK in 2021 and 2022. Most days, Kate can be found illustrating and writing in her studio in Leeds with her spotty dog, Olive. She loves a good story, the funnier the better, and gets her best ideas by doodling in her sketchbook; because even quick, wonky drawings can spark ideas for amazing plots. |
