ELIZABETH SINGER HUNT is originally from New Orleans and now lives in San Francisco. She moved to the UK in 1999 for an MA in Southeast Asian studies and then worked in brand marketing. Inspired by her love of travel and the birth of her son, she created the Jack Stalwart series. The series has been selected by Britain’s Education Secretary, as well as the popular Richard and Judy Children’s Book Club for its ability to appeal and enthrall younger boy readers.
