Authors: Jesse Blackadder
Jesse Blackadder wanted to be a vet from the age of five, but ended up becoming a writer. She lives near an extinct volcano in northern New South Wales, and shares her very big garden with a water dragon called Kinky, a koala called Blinky, a python called Slinky and lots of other wild creatures. She was lucky enough to meet the real Stay when she went to Antarctica on an arts fellowship, and was involved in a dognapping incident at Davis Station.
