About the Author

Ken Mackenzie lives in the United Kingdom - Torquay, South Devon to be exact. He is married and is the lucky grandfather to a huge tribe of 11 grandchildren. He loves nothing more than reading stories to the younger generation and taking them on a journey to a brighter, kinder world. He is devoted to the Children's Hospice, and writes his stories in honour of the children no longer with us. Writing has been a part of Chris Stead's life since he was very young. In fact, he won the "creative writing" award way back in Year 3 at school as a seven-year-old. During his senior school years, Chris wrote constantly, be it stories while he was sitting at his desk in class not concentrating on the teacher, or writing up news reports on all the sports and experiences the kids in his local neighbourhood enjoyed every day. Fast forward a little and Chris' media career could only be described as diverse. Spanning publications and clients as broad as Maxim Men's Magazine to the University of NSW to Game Informer Australia and Krash Kids Magazine he has spent 20+ years writing and editing across the Australian media industry. In 2014, Chris launched a new chapter in his writing life. He founded his own company, Old Mate Media, and launched the first of a range of children's books in The Wild Imagination of Willy Nilly series. Chris's vision for the company is that other aspiring writers who would like to create their own digital publications - no matter what the topic - will enlist Old Mate Media to help them turn their dream into a reality.
