About the Author: Dr Sven Scheppokat is a scientist - but please don't hold that against him. He started his career as a Morse code radio operator in the German navy, before becoming a mineralogist, before becoming a materials scientist, before falling in love with basalt. Sampling and analysing rocks, he is one of few people lucky enough to get to use both a sledge hammer and a microscope in their daily work - although not at the same time. Sven is named as an inventor on a number of patents, including one for a new kind of bicycle lock. He spends his days scouring the beautiful state of Victoria in search of the perfect rock, and while he's at it he dreams up hair-raising adventures for Annabelle and Jim (as well as ways to drive his family round the twist). After publishing a collection of short stories, Sven has started writing children's mystery books, and in 2012, Sven was surprised but delighted to win the adult-entry Monash WordFest Short Story Competition. Sven lives in Melbourne with his family and one dog, two cats and three rabbits.
