Jack Henseleit is a pirate children’s author from Ballarat, Australia. He likes reading, writing, and sailing the seven seas playing board games, and has two very fearsome friendly cats named Teddy and Tippi. Before Cross Bones he wrote The Witching Hours, a series of spooky fairy tales for older readers.

Chris Kennett has been drawing ever since he could hold a pencil (or so his mum says). But professionally, he’s has been creating quirky characters for more than 20 years. Working his way from animation through to children's books, Chris has managed to work on some truly 'out of this world' projects including the beloved Star Wars series of Little Golden Books. Chris's most recent projects include the hugely popular first-reader series School of Monsters with Sally Rippin, the Nerd Herd series with Nathan Luff and Cross Bones with Jack Henseleit.
