Louie Stowell started her career writing carefully researched books about space, ancient Egypt, politics, and science, but eventually lapsed into just making stuff up. The author of the Kit the Wizard series, she was inspired by her research into Norse myths to write Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Being Good, her first project as both author and illustrator. Louie Stowell writes full-time in London, where she lives with her wife, Karen; her dog, Buffy; and a creepy puppet that is probably cursed.

Kellan Stover works as an illustrator and animator in Austin, TX, and is a graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design. He draws influence from the design sensibilities of the 1950s and 1960s, and if he could, he would just paint rocket ships all day. See more of his work at www.stovepipe.design.
