About The Author

Gary Crew

GARY CREW is Professor of Creative Writing at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. He has won the Children’s Book Council of Australia’s Book of the Year four times and his readers have come to expect shadowy, surprising, incredible stories that must be read, and read again.

STEVEN WOOLMAN (1969-2004) completed a degree in Design and Illustration at the University of South Australia in 1990 and was always fascinated by bizarre fantasy. For the illustrations in The Watertower, his fifth published book, he used a combination of acrylic paint and chalk and pencil on black paper.
