Carrie Sellon was born in Bristol and now lives in Hampshire with her husband, three children, dog friend (Mabel), tortoise friend (Sid), chicken friends (Bluebell and Snowy) and 30,000 bee friends (Andy, Pamela, Ellie, Mark…you get the idea).

She used to travel the world making wildlife films for the BBC , but now, much like Pizza Pete, prefers hanging out at home, eating too much pizza. Pizza Pete and the Perilous Potions is her first book.
