H.K. Sears
H. K. Sears is a writer from Shropshire, and, growing up, she owned more books than toys. She’s spent her life devouring tales of fantasy and magic, and now loves to take inspiration from history to craft her own fantasy novels.
She has a first-class degree in Creative Writing from De Montfort University, and it was during this degree that she fell in love with indie publishing and bashed out a very, very, rough draft of The Phantom’s Bride.
When not writing, H. K. can be found working part time as a barista, singing with her choir, or snuggled up with her latest knitting project.

Cynthia Murphy
Cynthia is a YA writer from the North-West of England. She has always enjoyed writing and when her English teacher accused her of plagiarism in Year 8, she thought she might actually be quite good at it.
Buy books on Amazon
She has a long-standing love affair with all things scary, reading Point Horrors at primary school before graduating to Stephen King in her misguided teens. Classic 90s and 00s horror movies are definitely her pub quiz strong point and her first love may well have been Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Studying for a degree in Art History and Archaeology meant that she developed a thirst for anything old, beautiful and very often dead. She tries to combine this with contemporary settings in her writing to make unique and chilling modern stories.

Helena M. Craggs
I’ve been a voracious reader ever since I was a little girl wandering the library aisles, letting my imagination run wild in fantastical worlds. These days, I’m still a devoted bibliophile, forever enchanted by the escapism of swoon-worthy romances and faraway realms. I believe books hold infinite possibilities—and mine are no exception. In my NA series, expect magic, sharp banter, morally grey heartthrobs, fierce and witty heroines, and more than a little passion. My YA urban fantasy has magic, danger, and super-hot supernaturals.
