VICTOR KELLEHER was born in London and came to Australia in 1976 via Africa and New Zealand. After an academic career he now writes both children's and adults' novels full-time. His novels for Random House Australia include JOHNNY WOMBAT, TO THE DARK TOWER, DEL-DEL, BEYOND THE DUSK and the popular GOBLIN series with Stephen Michael King. Victor has been shortlisted for many awards including the Australian Children's Book of the Year Award and the Australian Science Fiction Achievement Award. He remains one of Australia's most celebrated authors. STEPHEN MICHAEL KING left school to pursue a career in nothing much. Trying to emulate Vincent Van Gogh, he twice dropped out of art school, eventually finding a job that suited him as a children's library assistant. After three years hanging out in the mind of a child, he moved into the serious world of the Walt Disney Sydney studios, before having his first book published - a 'how to draw cartoon animals' book. His first picture book, THE MAN WHO LOVED BOXES, won the Australian Family Therapists' Award and was selected for Pick of the List (US). He has been shortlisted several times for a Children's Book Council Book of the Year Award and won both the 2002 YABBA and KOALA children's choice awards for POCKET DOGS. His latest picture book for Random House Australia is ONE BLUE SOCK, written by Emily Ballou.
