Scot Gardner became a writer after a chance meeting with a magazine editor while hitchhiking in eastern Australia. Magazine articles led to op-ed newspaper pieces and eventually novels. Scot's first fiction for young adults, One Dead Seagull, was published after he attended a writing camp with John Marsden. More than a decade later, his many books have found local and international favour and garnered praise and awards for their honest take on adolescent life. They include books like White Ute Dreaming, Burning Eddy and most recently Happy as Larry, winner of a WA Premier's Book Award for young adult fiction, and The Dead I Know, winner of the CBCA Book of the Year Award for Older Readers. Scot lives with his wife and some chickens in country Victoria. Meredith Costain rocked through the eighties playing piano and synth in blues and covers bands in grungy inner-city pubs, and met some of the industry's finest while working as a door-bitch at infamous rock venues. A heavy-metal-loving housemate introduced her to the finer points of power chords, big hair, and twenty-minute guitar solos. Her talented friends - who include roadies, drummers, bass players and band managers - helped her nail the inside story for Rock Raps. As well as writing, Meredith reviews books, edits children's magazines, and teaches in a professional writing course. She lives in Melbourne, and enjoys eating, sleeping and sixties music. Meredith has published many books for children, including Musical Harriet, Night of the Voodoo Doll, London Blues , and novelisations of Heartbreak High .
