Louie Stowell started her career writing carefully-researched books about space, Ancient Egypt, politics and science but eventually lapsed into just making stuff up.

She likes writing about dragons, wizards, vampires, fairies, monsters and parallel worlds. She lives in London with her wife Karen, her dog Buffy, and a creepy puppet that is probably cursed.

I am a children's book illustrator living in Worthing with my lovely boyfriend and kitten. I absolutely love what I do and especially love the beginning of projects when i can let my imagination go and create the characters and the worlds they live in. I have been lucky enough to work in the word of children's publishing for the last 6 years and have had a lot of fun meeting all the talented writers, designers and editors who I get to work with.
