Dear Witch,

You think you can fool me, but I've seen the proof:

• Your chimney pours potions all over your roof,
• Your mailbox is barking and chasing a mouse,
• And some sorta goblins are painting your house!

You might as well help me! Let's whip up a spell

To clean up my clothing, take care of that smell,

Then hang decorations. How long will that take?

My parents might cancel the party!

From Jake

Nathan Christopher is a former child and aspiring adult who enjoys spreadsheets and―perhaps more useful to his writing aspirations―making people laugh. He pens his stories (and his letters to Santa) in Windsor, Canada, where he lives with his wife and children―who ensure endless material and a conveniently sleepless schedule for writing. 

Pablo Pino was born in August 1981 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He grew up watching cartoons, playing football and drawing a lot. These days, he doesn't watch as much TV and only plays football once a week, but still has the joy of painting every day. Why? Because, for the last 10 years, he‘s been working as a professional illustrator for different print media. What he enjoys the most is illustrating books for children and teenagers. Besides the 40 published books Pablo's illustrated, among novels and tales, he also does characters designs, board games and collaborate on designs for schoolbooks and magazines with various worldwide publishing companies. Pablo is self-taught and his illustrations are mostly computer drawn, but he always adds textures that he makes with pencils, crayons, acrylics and pretty much any material that let him get messy like when he was a child.
