After completing a Bachelor of International Business and Bachelor of Business (Honours), Chris Mitchell was looking for a break from academic writing. He was given a dad's memory book to capture the unique idiosyncrasies of his two teenage sons as they grew up. Like most parents with good intentions, his enthusiasm and attention span waned after just six months. However, Chris was keen not to let the memories of enjoyable times spent with his sons slide into obscurity so he started writing a series of short stories via email as an alternative to the memory book. To ensure his emails would be read, Chris crafted the boys' shared travels and activities with their dad, together with their individual personalities and behaviours, into a tale of secret agent alter egos with special powers. The story gained momentum as his sons waited eagerly each fortnight to find out what their respective characters ? DP and The Fang ? had got up to.

Chris Mitchell lives in Ipswich, Queensland with his two sons, Aidan and Nathan.
