Joan Lennon
Joan Lennon was born in Canada and has lived in Scotland since 1978. Her first novel, The Bad-Tempered Dragon, was published by Scholastic in 1998, and since then she has had a wide range of writing published in the acclaimed American magazine, Cricket. She has had more than forty poems and stories published in British magazines, as well as two puppet plays performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Joan’s new novel, Questors, will be published by Puffin in January 2007 and she is currently working on another, The Seventh Tide, which Puffin will publish a year later. Ely Plot, the first book of the Wickit Chronicles is due out in April 2007 and Fen Gold, the second in the series is due out in October 2007. Joan has done a wide range of jobs in Europe, Australia and Canada – from ice-cream sundae constructor to summer camp leader to Putzfrau at the Munich Olympics. She now divides her time between the demands of four tall sons, her piano pupils and her writing, which she likes best because “it’s quiet and there’s no heavy lifting.”
