Author Information

Matt Killeen was born in Birmingham, in the UK, back in the war-mad seventies--a hometown largely demolished and rebuilt in his lengthy absence. People tend to dismiss what comes more easily to them as unworthy, so it took him far too long to realize he was a writer. He worked as an advertising copywriter and a largely ignored music and sports journalist in the aughts, before fulfilling a childhood dream to join the LEGO(R) Group in 2010. He left after eight years, and an unconscionable amount of money spent in the staff store, to become a full-time author. A lover of costume parties, he is an avid gamer, soccer fan, toddler wrangler, and warrior for truth and social justice. Although a devout urbanite, he has somehow ended up surrounded by fields in a house full of LEGO bricks and musical instruments, with his two diversely aged children, Nuyorican soul mate, and neurotic fluffy dog. Orphan Monster Spy was his debut novel, and he has still not learned to touch-type. Lorna Bennett is a voice talent and audiobook narrator.
