After years spent flying around the world as cabin crew, Justin finally hung up his wings to focus on writing books that children can lose themselves in. His first book, Help! I Smell a Monster, won the Fantastic Book Awards in 2021. As well as writing, Justin loves visiting schools to share his books, which he says is one of the best things about being a children’s author.
When not lost in his own imagination, Justin continues his lifelong quest to bake the perfect scone. It’s an important endeavour, and one he takes very seriously.
Justin lives with his husband Andrew, and Sally the rescue greyhound, in the shadow of the Forth Bridge in Fife.

I can't remember how this came up in conversation, but we got talking about a town in Germany that people don't believe exists - or that they think they've heard of but aren't sure where to find it. This internet conspiracy got me thinking: who would want to live in a town that can't be found on the maps? Answer: people with secrets to hide. Result: Haarville! (Also proof that random conversations with strangers can be very fruitful).(less)
