Miund a.k.a Asmara Letizia Wreksono started to write when she was very little. Her first work was displayed on her mother's white living room wall, where she wrote her full name with blue and pink crayons. She luckily graduated from Bandung Institute of Technology where she insanely took Interior Design as a major, amazingly with a diploma in hand. Starting off her career as a copywriter, this girl has come a long way. She fell in love with the blogging world, the only place where she could say ANYTHING about life in general -usually in very humorous ways. Most of her writings are in Indonesian, but since she speaks English so fluently (mainly when feeling romantic, drunk or angry), she keeps an English blog as well at http://www.miund.wordpress.com GOKIL! - Sebuah Kompilasi Kedodolan (2007)is the first book of her own, consisting of the best bits from her Indonesian blog and is categorized as 'humor' or 'fiction'in most bookstores (never ask her why, because she is still curious about this too). She was also credited as one of the selected poets in a poetry anthology titled Grafitti Gratitude (2001), consisting of the best poetries from the Indonesian cyber-poets mailing list (was http://cybersastra.net). Again, she didn't know why she was selected because she never thought of herself as a poet. She just loves to write. Miund is now working as a Creative Producer for a local television talkshow, and have been involved in various international television shows for the past three years. She also wrote an award-winning comedy series in 2001. Although she loves to write, she hates using pens to do so. "I write in my computer. I only use pen and pencils to draw or doodle," she once said with a serious look on her face. She is now residing in Jakarta, Indonesia, working on her second (or is it third?) book with two other authors.

I've simply been drawn to it over and over." —Isman H. Suryaman Isman is an Indonesian humor writer who also does stand-up and improv comedy. He likes to poke fun at himself and question things that few people care to mind. Such as: + What does it mean when your dog starts singing Nessun Dorma? + In wedding receptions, where do telepathic communications occur the most? + How can a 21-month-old baby be a good presidential candidate? + And when do we need to lose our weight for the sake of the world? Bertanya atau Mati is his first book; a collection of humorous essays. From then on, his work always includes humor—even on his third book, which covers presentation techniques.
