Author Notes:Matt Whyman is a distinctive contemporary voice in children's and adult writing. After graduating from the University of East Anglia's MA in Creative Writing, Matt's career as a writer has taken him from Agony Uncle columns ( Bliss magazine and AOL ) and teen self-help guides to the cutting edge of both adult and children's fiction. His critically acclaimed young adult novel Boy Kills Man was short-listed for several awards, including the 2004 Teenage Book Prize, and praised by Melvin Burgess: 'Bold, chilling and beautifully written' . It is currently in development as a feature film with the producers of the cult film Kidulthood . Matt is married with four children (and an enormous dog) and lives in West Sussex, England.
