Alex is also the creator of the bestselling Claude series for early readers, which appear in their own TV series on Disney Junior. When not working, Alex enjoys doodling in his sketchbook, reading, people-watching and eavesdropping. He is also a big fan of cake and a nice cup of tea. He lives with and under the constant ‘supervision’ of his canine companions in Warwickshire. How Winston Delivered Christmas was his first title for Macmillan and is followed by The Twelve Days of Christmas.
