Colm Field Author

Colm Field gets called ‘Colin’ a lot. He doesn’t help himself by mumbling his words a lot of the time, except in his job as a builder, when he winds up shouting instead. He lives in London with his three kids and his partner. Colm is happiest when he’s excitedly writing a new story on his rusty old phone and his favourite mode of transport is walking, so obviously his debut children's novel is about high-speed multiverse-hopping on everything but feet. Colm was inspired by his children to write about mixed-race Jamaican-British siblings on an epic adventure - so that their reality can be reflected in the books they read. David Wilkerson is a Black American illustrator who was born in Denver and is currently based in Maryland. He believes that there is healing in storytelling, and that it is the job of creatives to contribute to that cause. His career began in the animation industry, and he has worked as a designer on various projects for clients such as Hulu and Cartoon Network.
