After years working as a professional nerd in IT project management, Kevin Crump decided to give his more creative side a whirl. So, he then spent six months doing nothing but writing The Quay, living on dust and enthusiasm, and rarely showering. This was well-received (the book, that is, not the questionable personal hygiene). Then sometime after that, he added The Storm to the series and now works with lifeboats - these two things are purely coincidental.
