About the Author

Dani Vee is the host of the popular literary podcast Words and Nerds where she chats to authors about writing and books. An English educator and a bookworm from birth, don’t even get her started on her favourite book, Oscar Wilde’s ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’! Dani is most content with a blanket, a camomile tea, plenty of dark chocolate and a book! She is terrible with directions, can never keep her brain still and loves a good laugh. She knows two chords on her guitar and hopes that one day she’ll have time to learn a third. James Layton’s aptly named publishing business Larrikin House says it all. He seriously forgot to grow up, so he’s pretty much still a kid in an adult's body. James giggled his way through the writing of ‘Would You Rather?’ with many scenarios so wrong they had to be edited out. The ones that survived the cut are because James is the publisher and there was nobody to tell him no!
