BIO: Tommy Donbavand was born in Liverpool, but doesn’t know any of The Beatles. When he was 11, his parents moved to Lancashire and, because they didn’t trust him to forward the post, he had to go with them.
After an early career as a clown called Wobblebottom (no, really!), he joined the cast of the West End musical, Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story where he played the Clearlake MC for a total of eight years, including stints on the UK tour and in Toronto, Canada.
Tommy then moved into the world of theatre production, where he wrote, directed and appeared in theatre tours such as Robinson Crusoe, Hey Diddle Diddle, and Goldilocks & The Three Bears.
As an author, Tommy’s series of comedy horror novels, Scream Street, is published by Walker Books in the UK, Candlewick Press in the USA and major foreign publishers in many territories around the world.

I think that a ghoston.is a good character name because it is a mixture between a skeleton and a ghost so the head is a ghost and the body is a skeleton! I hope you like this.
