When Robin Bennett grew up he thought he wanted to be a cavalry officer until everyone else realised that putting him in charge of a tank was a very bad idea. He then became an assistant gravedigger in London. After that he had a career frantically starting businesses (everything from dog-sitting to tuition to translation)... until finally settling down to write improbable stories to keep his children from killing each other on long car journeys. Robin plays most sports. Poorly. Matt Cherry grew up writing and drawing about monsters before he was told to stop wasting pencils and get a job. He now lives on the Kent coast with his wife and two pet children where he still writes and draws everyday... only this time with a pen.
