About the Author
Born and raised in Leicester, Dave now lives in Suffolk with a brilliant woman, a beautiful girl, a bonkers dog and an inexcusable cat. He is the author/illustrator of the middle grade fiction series Emily Lime: Librarian Detective, and creator of the slapstick comedy noir comic strip Good Dog, Bad Dog, as seen in The DFC, the Guardian and The Phoenix. His debut prose novel for children, A Boy and a Bear in a Boat, which he also illustrated, was shortlisted for the Costa Children's Book Award and the Carnegie Medal, and won the Branford Boase Award. He is fond of cake.
