ABOUT THE AUTHORJordan Morris is a high school English teacher. His students wanted a good novel to read. He wrote Round and Round. Jordan won the 2005 A.C.T. Writers Centre Young & Emerging Writer Mentorship with Jackie French, who taught him everything he knows about writing (and everything he didn't know about writing.) A quarterfinalist in the 2012 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Competition, Jordan has been published in the occasional magazine and anthology, and wrote the sold-out Noir Revue for the Spiegeltent in the Old Parliament House rose gardens for Canberra's Centenary.

In a previous life he ran a boutique hotel for writers and artists. He hopes that in at least one other past life he was a dinosaur.ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATORAnnalise Fredericks is a Canberra-based artist and student who appears to have an obsession with moths (which probably stems from Round and Round.) Her work was featured in the RAW Artists Canberra Translations showcase, and selected for the 2013 Step Into The Limelight art exhibition at ANU. She was featured in the Canberra Times for her art installation, when she painstakingly cut out 1000 paper moths and plastered them to a wall. In a past life, she lived in Paris and was teased by the author for being a baguette-eater. Annalise hopes that in another incarnation she was Merlin, or at least something cool, like a moth.
