Daniel McMurray has worked within Special Educational Needs for many years. He has a passion for ensuring young people with disabilities are well equipped for adulthood, both through academic qualifications and through delivering Independent Living Skills Programmes. He is the Head Teacher of the Secondary Department of an Independent Specialist School in Leicester. Becoming a publishing author was something he didn’t foresee. However, his wit and ability to empower people through books is something he is immensely proud of. When he isn't working in school, he can be found listening to his extensive record collection and spending family time with his wife and daughters.Andy Smith studied illustration at the University of Brighton and the Royal College of Art, London.
