About the author

Heath McKenzie

Heath McKenzie is a best-selling illustrator from Melbourne. His work has appeared in children’s books, magazines (for all ages), novels, cover art, ad campaigns, and even jewellery. Horror stories generally scare him though he loves them nonetheless - particularly zombie and monster-based fare. On the other hand, he can't resist and bright and sugary musical either... all this plus a tremendously varied music soundtrack tends to affect and inspire his work.
