Ruth Hogan

I was born in the house where my parents still live in Bedford: my sister was so pleased to have a sibling that she threw a thrupenny bit at me. As a child I read everything I could lay my hands on: The Moomintrolls, A Hundred Million Francs, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, the back of cereal packets and gravestones. I was mad about dogs and horses, but didn't like daddy-long-legs or sugar in my tea.

I studied English and Drama at Goldsmiths College which was brilliant, but then I came home and got a 'proper' job. I worked for ten years in a senior local government position (I was definitely a square peg in a round hole, but it paid the bills and mortgage) before a car accident left me unable to work full-time and convinced me to start

Elisabeth Steinkellner

Elisabeth Steinkellner wuchs im südlichen Niederösterreich auf. Lange Zeit wünschte sie sich nichts sehnlicher, als Zirkusartistin zu werden. Als sie zwölf war und ihre Eltern immer noch keine Anstalten machten, sie in einer Kompanie unterzubringen, änderte sie ihre Pläne und wollte fortan Schriftstellerin werden. Oder Meeresbiologin. Oder Schaufensterdekorateurin. Nach dem Abitur kam es anders: Sie absolvierte eine Ausbildung zur Sozialpädagogin und ein Studium der Kultur- und Sozialanthropologie in Wien. Nebenbei entdeckte sie die Faszination des Zirkus von Neuem, schwamm in verschiedenen Meeren und dekorierte statt Schaufenstern ihre häufig wechselnden Wohnungen. Nur die Lust am Schreiben will sich in nichts anderes verwandeln lassen und
