Inda Ahmad Zahri believes in a world of wonder. She lives in Brisbane where she illustrates and writes for children and adults. Her stories are inspired by natural and cultural gems curated from her travels and lovingly added to her Malaysian heritage. She is also a surgical doctor, swapping her writer’s hat and paintbrush for scrubs and scalpel when duty calls.

Lesley McGee is an artist, designer and photographer living in the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges, Melbourne. Influenced by the intricate styles of Norman Rockwell, Robert Ingpen, Graeme Base and Frida Kahlo, she also looks to her extensive travel experiences for inspiration. Lesley’s early creative work featured landscape oils and gouache caricatures. Her passion for experimentation has led her to use vibrant pencil, pastel and inks. Texture, light and detail are a dominant feature of her work. Lesley’s publishing foray began with the ambition to self-publish her own manuscript and illustration project. Featuring Milly and a cast of magical creatures, she hopes to bring these adventures to life in the near future also.
