Kate Wiseman

I was a late developer, getting to university in my late 30s.

A lifelong bookworm, I always wanted to write, but for a long time I was too scared of failure to try. When my son left home for university, I decided to have a go. I was lucky, being shortlisted for a national literary contest, and my writing career took off from there.

I started writing for children and young adults but have more or less moved to writing for adults. To date, I have written 4 Ganagster School books, a YA fantasy called Icarus and Velvet, 2 Mudlark Myateries (the second one is being released December 24) and Evolution, written under the nom de plume, Zelda Conway.

My first book for adults, The Red Tunic, is the result of fascinations with women's history, the Fir

Emma Miles

I often get asked when I knew I was a writer; the answer is always. A writer is what I am, it’s in my soul. There have been times in my life when I couldn’t write, and times when my writing has been the only thing that kept me going. I think I always longed for something deeper from life, something more meaningful, and I found it in my imagination and in the music of words.
It was poetry which first caught my attention, and whilst my younger cousins called for ghost stories it was animals I first wrote of. I think I gravitated toward fantasy because of the freedom it gives, I could create my own worlds and decide my own rules. My Wind’s Children trilogy was born from an image that came to me whilst daydreaming, of a young man sitting alone b
