Tommy Donbavand was born in Liverpool and has worked at a number of careers that have included clown, actor, theatre producer, storyteller and writer. His two non-fiction books for children, Boredom Busters and Quick Fixes for Bored Kids, have helped him to become a regular guest on radio stations around the UK. Tommy is having huge fun with Scream Street, his new comedy-horror series for younger children, and his years as a children's entertainer stand him in good stead at author events. He lives in Northumberland with his family.
