Tim Harris is one of the most exciting children’s authors in Australia. His first series of books, Exploding Endings, will have primary-aged readers both captivated and laughing out loud.

The first book in the series, Painted Dogs & Doom Cakes, was awarded Honour Book at the 2017 KOALAs. His second series, Mr Bambuckle’s Remarkables, contains his trademark quirkiness, mixed with a touch of poignancy.

A former primary school teacher of 15 years, and advocate for creativity and short stories, Tim’s presentations and workshops are dynamic and entertaining. He is a sought-after presenter, having worked in over a hundred schools in 2016 and 2017 alone.

Tim lives in Sydney with his wife and three young children.

James Hart was raised in the UK on English comics and classic eighties and nineties cartoons before moving to Australia and studying illustration, electronic design and multimedia.

James has designed toys, animated programs such as The Day My Butt Went Psycho, and illustrated books for series including You Choose, Boy vs Beast, Glen Maxwell, Ball Stars and Accidentally Awesome.

When he's not drawing aliens, robots and monsters, James is being a dad and husband, watching movies and documentaries and cartoons, drinking coffee, listening to music, gardening, reading...and drinking more coffee.
