Author Notes:Mel Darbon spent a large part of her childhood inventing stories to keep her autistic brother happy on car journeys. She won't mention the time spent with him standing by railway crossings waiting for the InterCity 125 to go past, as she wouldn't want to be labeled a train spotter. Life took her in many different directions working as a theater designer and freelance artist, as well as teaching young adults with learning disabilities and running creative workshops for teenage moms. She lives with her family in England.
