About the Author

Jonny Daymond loves action, adventure and travel. He has trekked the Amazon rainforest, dived the Great Barrier Reef, jumped out of planes, raced sailing dinghies, climbed sheer rock faces and spent a lifetime studying martial arts. In fact, he holds a fourth degree black belt and is the current Chairman of the United Kingdom Shorinji Kempo Federation. As a former publisher he has travelled the world visiting countries on every continent, while as a musician he has performed thousands of gigs singing, playing the guitar, harmonica, bass and drums.

But most of all, he is a dad, and he likes nothing more than hanging out with his two children: climbing trees, sword fighting with sticks and making up stories. His writing career is dedicated to them and all other children, young and old. A debut author, Jonny writes intriguing, thrilling and thought-provoking adventure stories.

Marco Guadalupi loves to tell stories and works in the publishing industry as both a writer and as an illustrator. He primarily uses digital drawing tools, particularly Procreate and Photoshop, but also creates hand-lettering and fonts for book covers, in addition to graphic elements for the interiors. Marco is passionate about everything vintage and often draws inspiration from retro charm and elegance. Alongside illustration, Marco has a keen interest in photography. Marco lives in Italy and likes chips, liquorice and Harry Potter. He believes in imagination: the world needs it.
