Author Information

C. J. Biggin is the author of IYANWA, a middle-grade fantasy adventure story that centers around a unique perspective of life and death, self-determination, and the bond that binds siblings together. Biggin grew up in the north of London, UK, and didn't start writing until later in life. Before that, he spent his life telling stories through music, playing at venues from London to California. He's written a play, had songs featured in movies, illustrated numerous wonderful books and the front cover of Highlights magazine. He never thought his life's journey would lead to a story quite like IYANWA, but that all changed when he drew a picture of little boy carrying a backpack stuffed with twigs sitting on a fox. When he's not writing, you can find him behind the piano writing melancholic songs (because he can't play fast), or designing something for users to get excited by. He lives with his wife and two children in a place called San Marcos, California.
