Catherine Dellosa plays video games for a living, reads comics for inspiration, and writes fiction because she’s in love with words. She lives in Manila, Philippines with her husband, whose ideas fuel the fire in her writing. Her Young Adult fantasy novel, Of Myths And Men, has been published by Penguin Random House SEA and is her love letter to gamer geeks, mythological creatures, aliens, and epic quests to save the world. The second book in the trilogy, Of Life And Lies, is out now. When it comes to contemporary YA, For The Win: The Not-So-Epic Quest Of A Non-Playable Character is another tribute to gaming, while a light speculative YA romance is coming soon, also published by PRH SEA. She has also penned The Choices We Made (And Those We Didn't) published by BRUMultiverse, as well as Raya and Grayson’s Guide to Saving the World and The Bookshop Back Home as part of #romanceclass - a community of Filipino authors who are equally in love with words too. When she's not lost in the land of make-believe, she works as a games journalist for one of the biggest mobile gaming media outlets in the UK. She one day hopes to soar the skies as a superhero, but for now, she strongly believes in saving lives through her works in fiction.

Also known as Cindy Wong, made of coffee, books and a flight ticket. She runs 8Letters Bookstore and Publishing while pursuing her Passion Hustles.

Erleen has been in love with books since she fell down the rabbit hole when she was six. She didn’t start writing the stories in her head until she was in college. In between coding programs and drawings of complex ER diagrams, she scribbled stories in battered notebooks. Now that she’s part of the working class, she finally decided to pursue her writing dream.

Yeyet Soriano has been writing her entire life, first as an angst-ridden teenager, then as a single working woman, then as a married working woman with kids. Though the themes of her written works have changed over the years, she held on to one truth—she needed to write to keep the voices in her head at bay. Based in Manila, Philippines, her day job is that of a senior IT manager for the Asia-Pacific region for a multinational corporation. She is married to a man who reads only to fall asleep, and they have three wonderful kids—two of whom love to read and one who takes after his Dad in that he will only read when forced.
