Joe Southall was born in Cumbria (Lancashire as it was then). He began writing stories for children after honing his skills as an amateur song writer. Maybe in another life, he would have been a rock star, but in this one, he is a man with a vivid and varied imagination, who loves to write fun, engaging and sometimes whimsical tales, as much for his pleasure, as for the children, parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles, who hopefully will read them and love them, as he does. He lives in Derbyshire and Rex, The Much Misunderstood Lion is his first publication.
