Justin's books image

After years spent flying around the world as cabin crew, Justin finally hung up his wings to focus on writing books that children can lose themselves in. His first book, Help! I Smell a Monster (Hachette Children’s), won the Fantastic Book Awards in 2021. Justin’s most recent children’s novel, Haarville (Floris Books), is a darkly comic adventure full of secrets seaweed and scoundrels! As well as writing, Justin loves visiting schools to share his books and love of reading and writing, which he says is one of the best things about being a children’s author. Justin also offers creative writing workshops to grown-ups!

When not writing or visiting schools, Justin continues his lifelong quest to bake the perfect scone. It’s an important endeavour, and one he takes very seriously.

Justin lives with his husband Andrew, and Sally the rescue greyhound, in the shadow of the Forth Bridge in Fife.
