Hayley Gannon is a teacher librarian working in Canberra. She adores children's literature and is an advocate for getting quality books into kids' hands. She loves writing about real family and school life so that readers can see themselves in books. When she's not writing, Hayley delights in enthusiastic read-alouds, watching re-runs of 90s sitcoms and discovering there is a caf inside a bookshop. She is regular guest on the popular podcast Reading with a Chance of Tacos. Luna's World is Hayley's first published book.

Michelle Conn is an author and illustrator living on Wadawurrung Country in the coastal town of Torquay Victoria with her husband, two children and Border Collie Maggie. After years of working as a graphic designer and primary school teacher, Michelle's love of books and storytelling won over and she spends most of her spare time drawing, writing and wandering around the house in a 'thinking fog'. If Michelle's not writing or illustrating delightful worlds for children to enjoy, you'll find her along the wild and wooly cliffs of Jan Juc or sitting by a fire knitting and dreaming about living in a lighthouse.
