Through her writing, she wishes to inspire a love for the beautiful country and rich culture that informed much of her identity.
When she's not writing, she loves to travel to new places where she can explore different cultures or to Pakistan where she can revitali

The Octunnumi, a just out of sight, doesn’t really exist world of mythical creatures and magic.
Of course the mythical creatures take great issue with this title as they are of course not mythical at all, being the native inhabitants of the planet Earth way before – well a long time ago; and as for magic, there is no such thing.
Like the aforementioned non-mythical creatures, the abilities of the Tarelen peoples are in no way magical.
After all, mind control, telepathic communication, telekinetic control over objects is no different to any one of us breathing and is that considered magic? No, of course not, although a rock might disagree.

Lucy Jane Wood
I found myself falling into the world of writing almost by accident. My blogging friends at university were applying for swanky magazine internships, and I decided I should probably do something useful like that for myself. It was an obvious decision that almost made itself on my behalf, because writing is just who I am, and reading has always just been what I do.

I cared for my father, who was living with mixed dementia, for a total of five years. I thought there was a gap in the market for an extremely short and cost effective guide highlighting essential processes for carers of people with dementia and when my father moved into a care home, I made it my goal to write such a book. It was a cathartic experience and I am pleased to have been able to help others navigate what can be the emotional and administrative minefield of caring for a loved one.

K.T. Sterling heeft altijd graag verhaaltjes geschreven, maar ze had nooit de gedachte om schrijver te worden. Tot ze op haar negentiende gedwongen zelf naar de pen greep omdat ze vreemde dromen kreeg en er personages in haar hoofd rondwaarden die smeekten om gekend te worden. Zo is haar steampunk/victorian high fantasy boekenreeks ‘Testra’ ontstaan en daarbij ook de droom om schrijfster te worden. Ze is blijven schrijven, zelfs na haar opleiding criminologie, door de vele administratieve jobs heen die haar niets anders brachten dan depressies en burn-outs. Op die manier had ze een eerste manuscript klaar. Ze had ook een manuscript klaar voor een vervolg en ideeën voor een derde boek in de reeks.
