Tommy Donbavand
was born and brought up in Liverpool and has worked at numerous jobs, including clown (called Wobblebottom!), actor, drama teacher, theatre director and pantomime producer.

As a writer, Tommy has penned articles for magazines such as
Junior Education
and
Creative Steps
and written dozens of stage plays, including
Hey Diddle Diddle
and
Humpty Dumpty and the Incredibly Daring Rescue of the Alien Princess in Deep Space
. He then turned his hand to children’s books, and in addition to
Scream Street
he has written five adventures in the
Too Ghoul for School
series, several books of boredom-busting games and activities for children, and three short novels:
Zombie!
,
Wolf
and
The Uniform
, the last of which won the 2011 Hackney Short Novel Award.

Tommy has loved writing the popular
Scream Street
series, the thirteenth and final instalment of which you now hold in your hands. He hopes that his next series will be as much fun to write – and to read! Watch this space…
