Authors and illustrators
Honie Beam
Honie Beam was once let loose in a library and never looked back. In pursuit of her childhood goals to become an artist, an author and a smoothie maker, she studied Illustration and Sequential Art at Maryland Institute College of Art. Now based in Greenville, South Carolina Honie spends her free time drinking (a lot) of coffee, playing (badly) the mandolin, and doodling (on important documents) dragons. Her work is inspired by the countless books she consumed as a child and a desire to spark that same passion in others.
Huw Lewis Jones
Huw Lewis Jones has voyaged many times to Antarctica, meeting all kinds of penguins. He is now a professor at Falmouth University teaching natural history and other creative things. Huw has written books about photography, mountains, and maps, but these days his stories are mostly about annoying apples and befuddled badgers. He lives in Cornwall.
