In his job as a TV producer, Nick Long has been up close and personal with five-metre crocodiles, ruthless crime lords, unstable Alaskan glaciers and tight deadlines. Can you guess which of these was the scariest? When he's not avoiding deadlines, Nick lives with his wife and two boys on Sydney's Northern Beaches where he enjoys inventing excuses for not doing handyman stuff. The Forbidden Journal of Rufus Rumble is his first children's book.

Robin Tatlow-Lord is an illustrator, cartoonist, arts educator, bird fancier and hand puppet enthusiast who has never been to outer space, but knows that it has a smell. She lives in South Australia, on Kaurna land. When she's not drawing, she spends her time hitting her friends (otherwise known as playing roller derby) and chasing a small, adorable but highly mischievous pixie (otherwise known as parenting a toddler).
