Dr. Tom Moorhouse is an author and conservation research scientist whose work bridges children's fiction and nature writing. With over two decades at Oxford University's Wildlife Conservation Research Unit, he brings scientific expertise to his literary creations. His writing often reflects his firsthand experiences with British wildlife, though he humorously notes that most creatures he's studied "tried to bite him."
Moorhouse combines his academic background with a passion for outdoor exploration, which informs both his ecological research and his storytelling. His fiction captures the wonder of the natural world while drawing from his professional encounters with wildlife. Based in Oxford, he remains actively engaged in conservation work while continuing to write, with a particular fondness for hedgehogs and hopes of welcoming them back to his garden.
