Andrew Dawson
After growing up in sunny Durban, Andrew Dawson has spent much of his life living in rainy northern places, which might explain why he tries to find humour where he can. His fiction has been recognised at the Northern Writers' Awards in the UK and he has won the Best Screenplay award at the Sydney Indie Film Festival. The Veld Friends series is his first trip into children's book territory and he's loving the journey so far.
