E. N. Hews is a first-time author/illustrator of the story picture book Where is Everyone?. Retired since 2019, he resides in New South Wales, Australia and enjoys painting, drawing, listening to music, visiting his grandchildren in country NSW, and reading storybooks to them. His fondest reading memory is from when he was six years old and learning the word 'inquisitive' while reading about a possum. So, as a tribute to that author, he has intentionally incorporated both into this storybook.
