Angela Kelman, wife, mother and haribo addict lives with her family in Aberdeen, Scotland. It was here where she grew up, studied and achieved her diploma in Photography. She has always been interested in art, but didn't think about writing until her youngest of two boys began nursery, bringing with it some spare time (whatever that means). She caught the writing bug quickly. When not being a full time mum, she is a part time child minder. In her 'spare time' Angela writes short stories and in 2011 won the August competition on Writers billboard with KNOWING JACK. This story can be found in Mullins Collection of Best New Fiction. She has now got other short stories in the charity anthologies - Out of Darkness and A festive Feast. SECOND CHANCES was the first novel Angela Published in summer 2012.

Samantha Bacchus is a writer from Devon. She is married with three children and has a cat and two dogs who keep her busy in the moments when she is not writing. She has written short stories for the women's magazine market and self-published her own collection. Several of her short stories have been included in anthologies.

Jody has been everything from a serving police officer to working in kitchens before finding her home in writing. She can often be found chuckling to herself at her own jokes; being pounced by her golden retriever Fergus; eating cake or chocolate or preferably both, and sometimes, when Fergus hasn’t run off with her keyboard, she writes stuff. Best Maid Plans is Jody’s first book independently published but you can find her other published works online or in most book stores (you’ll just need to order them in.)

Vanessa Wester is bilingual in English and Spanish, since she was born and raised in Gibraltar. With a degree in Accountancy & Law, she initially worked for two leading accountancy firms, before she changed career and became a secondary school mathematics teacher. Over the past fourteen years, she has devoted her time to the upbringing of her children, whilst giving up a lot of her time to help voluntary organisations. Now, she is teaching again, but still dreams of pursuing her literary career. Vanessa developed her writing bug in 2010. Her main published work is ‘THE EVOLUTION TRILOGY’, which is comprised of HYBRID, her debut novel, followed by COMPLICATIONS and RETURN. You can also find out how it all began in the prequel to the Trilogy, EMILY. In addition, she has written a novelette called FIRST DATE, which is based on her true story. She has also published, and included stories in, six anthologies to raise money for fantastic causes, such as Gurnard Primary School on the Isle of Wight. Writing is one of her passions, reading the other. The day she decided to start writing her ideas down she found another way to lose herself in a book, whilst finding an outlet for her imagination. It is the best way she can think of to escape from everyday life. She is currently working on a historical fiction novel based on the life of her great, great, grandparents... and is finding the research fascinating!
