Dear Santa,

I wrote you a week ago, didn't you get it?

I've managed to keep myself busy - don't sweat it.

My awesome new list is now ten pages long.

Start training your reindeer - they'll need to be strong.

And how many N's are in "venomous snake"?

I drew one in case I misspelled it.

Love, 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 do 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 lets him get messy like when he was a child.
