Jan-Andrew Henderson lives in Edinburgh with his partner and two children and runs 'City of the Dead' ghost tours, which requires him to look moody and wear black a lot. After living in the USA for several years, he returned to Scotland and began writing non-fiction books, children's novels and young adult thrillers. His last three books were shortlisted for thirteen literary awards and he is the winner of The Royal Mail Award and the Doncaster Book Prize.
