John Condon
When John Condon was a child, he was always drawing, so his mother and most of his teachers assumed he would become an illustrator or a designer. He did become a designer, and now he's an author, too. John Condon was born and raised in London, but he currently lives on its outskirts where it's a little leafier.

Matt Hunt is an illustrator whose work includes Would You Dare? written by Min Flyte. He works in a variety of media, using paints, pens, crayons, and digital design to create his artwork, and loves to draw anything and everything. Matt Hunt lives in England with his wife.
