Darren Charlton lives in Hastings and has worked in social care for the last 15 years, most recently for the homeless team at Guy's and St Thomas' hospital in London. His lifetime obsessions with the National Parks of America, genre, film music and 80s kids movies have all worked their way into his writing. Darren's first book, Wranglestone, has been shortlisted for the Costa Book Awards and the YA Book Prize, and longlisted for the Branford Boase Award.

Hailing from a family of performers, Hunter started working professionally at a young age. Perhaps most notably, he appeared in the lead role of Jeremy Glass in the Melbourne Theatre Company’s production of Poor Boy, opposite Guy Pearce. He plays the key role of Lucas in the upcoming television series For Real. Other television credits include True Story, Utopia, The Secret River, The Doctor Blake Mysteries and Underbelly: Squizzy. Wranglestone is Hunter’s first narration for Bolinda audio.
