Steve Otton lives on the Clarence River in northern NSW and divides his time between photography and making furniture from recycled timber. But his dogs like it best when he's walking with them on the beach. Jen Castles is a writer, editor and actor who lives in Brunswick in Melbourne. She doesn't have a dog right now, but her little kids are always 'borrowing' other people's dogs, so she's going to have to get one soon. She'd love to find a dog just like Tiny. Jennifer Castles grew up in Adelaide, Australia. She began her working life as an actor, lived overseas for some years and now calls Melbourne home. Her first book was a collaboration with her father about the trial and death of Ned Kelly and since then she has had three picture books published. She now works as a submissions editor and ghostwriter, and continues to write stories of her own.
