About Mat Waugh
Mat Waugh is a 40-something father of three young girls living in the south east of England. When he was seven he wrote to Clive King, author of 60s children's classic Stig of the Dump, asking if there would be a sequel. The letter chased Clive around the world but eventually found him back in London, and he replied (including the exotically franked envelope). The bad news was that there would be no second Stig. The good news: writing was clearly a very exciting career!
Thirty years later, Mat started writing fiction in earnest (he's a serial procrastinator). He began with his Cheeky Charlie series for kids aged 6 and up, and has since written best-selling joke books, wordsearches and picture books.
