Sue Lynn Tan Sue Lynn was born in Malaysia and educated in London. Moving around most of her life and leaving many storage boxes in her wake, she has lived in Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, London, San Francisco, France and Singapore, before settling in Hong Kong in 2006. With a background in finance, consulting and marketing, Sue Lynn found she was happiest pursuing an entrepreneurial and creative career path, founding an accessories brand (Mayberry Jewels) which is currently available in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Australia. With a toddler and a baby on the way, free time is a rare luxury, but she still makes time to pursue her passion for writing and creating stories to read to her son.

Scott Williamson Scott hails from Australia but has lived in Asia for over five years, in Singapore and now Hong Kong. As the father of an eight-year-old girl and six-year-old boy, weekends are jam-packed with exploring the delights of the SAR, and a full-time job keeps him busy for the rest of the week. In between sipping some of the best independent espresso coffee in Sai Kung and cycling with his family at Tai Po and Sha Tin, Scott has a passion for freelance travel and feature writing, and creating children’s fiction. Given his family’s adventurous spirit and his love of all things writing, it seemed only natural for Scott to focus on writing about the joys of parenting, and its trials and tribulations as well.
