Steven Hornby grew up near Preston in the north of England and has been in the entertainment industry for nearly 15 years, working on heartwarming animated and award-winning visual effects films . After years of bringing classic stories to life on screen, Hornby has written his own Christmas novel destined to be a family classic. He currently lives in Burbank , California .
Growing out of my childhood, I remembered trying to hold onto those magical feelings I only got at Christmas time, the warm fuzziness in my stomach and the giddy excitement of knowing Santa Claus would soon be arriving.
But those feelings faded and in their place completely new ones developed; equally as good mind you, just different. So I wanted to create a world that captured those magical feelings I had as a child, but also include a sense of what Christmas means to me today, every time I open up that wonderful Christmas box. Steven Hornby
