After having visited Iceland in 2019, Gigga Black, an ex retailer and carer was inspired by her pet Degu Skylark, and Mr Catchpole and Mr Terence White, who she based Terence the Dragon on. She is hoping to move to Iceland or France in the future and continue to create children's books, audiobooks, and animations. She is inspired by the natural world, art history, myths, legends and all wonderful creatures in the universe. She has a lovely niece called Phoebe and lives in Dorset.
