---

Tom Percival writes and illustrates books for children and middle grade readers, the most well known of which is Derek landy's Skulduggery Pleasant series.

He grew up in a remote and beautiful part of South Shropshire. On reflection this seemed rather more remote than beautiful, owing to the fact that he lived in a small caravan without electricity, mains water or any sensible form of heating. He thinks that he's probably one of the few people in his peer group to have learnt to read by gas lamp.

Tom now lives in an actual house with his girlfriend and their two young sons. His favourite colour is turquoise and his favourite number is usually seven.

Nationality: British
