Jodi Taylor is the internationally bestselling author of the Chronicles of St Mary's series, the story of a bunch of disaster prone individuals who investigate major historical events in contemporary time. Do NOT call it time travel! She is also the author of the Time Police series - a St Mary's spinoff and gateway into the world of an all-powerful, international organisation who are NOTHING like St Mary's. Except, when they are. Alongside these, Jodi is known for her gripping supernatural thrillers featuring Elizabeth Cage together with the enchanting Frogmorton Farm series - a fairy story for adults. Born in Bristol and now living in Gloucester (facts both cities vigorously deny), she spent many years with her head somewhere else, much to the dismay of family, teachers and employers, before finally deciding to put all that daydreaming to good use and write a novel. Over twenty books later, she still has no idea what she wants to do when she grows up.

Hazel Cushion set up Accent Press when her triplets were six years old. She has since won numerous business awards and was invited to Buckingham Palace to meet the Queen in recognition of her contribution to business in Britain. In 2007 she launched Xcite Books, which has grown to become one of the UK’s leading publishers of erotic fiction for women and couples. She now combines managing her business with writing and motivational speaking.
