About the author

Miranda Dickinson has always had a head full of stories. Following a Performance Art degree, she began to write in earnest when a friend gave her The World's Slowest PC. She is also a singer-songwriter.

Claudia Carroll was born in Dublin, where she still lives and where she has worked extensively both as a theatre and television actress.

Julia Williams has always made up stories in her head, and until recently she thought everyone else did too. After the birth of the second, Julia went freelance and decided to try her hand at writing.

Liz Trenow worked for many years as a journalist for national and regional newspapers, and for BBC radio and television news, and is now a full time writer.

Mhairi Mcfarlane was born in Scotland in 1976 and has been explaining how to pronounce her name ever since. (With a ‘V’, not an ‘M’. Yes, that’s us crazy Celts for you).
