Jef Curlin
Jef writes urban fantasy with heart, humor, and a touch of mental alchemy. A late bloomer in the writing world, he never believed he could write a book—until he did. Twice. And counting.
Jef is the author of The Alchemist's Journey and The Alchemist's Dilemma, the first two entries in the Alchemist Chronology series, available on Amazon. When not conjuring magical mayhem on the page, he puts his Bachelor’s in Food Science to good use experimenting in the kitchen (results may vary).
Fun fact: back in junior high, Jef sang baritone in a Barbershop Quartet. These days, he sticks to harmonizing storylines and character arcs—but never rule out a comeback tour.

A little about me...
I enjoy authors such as Jeff Vandermeer, Blake Crouch, and P G Wodehouse.
My favourite films are Alien and The Fifth Element.
I live with my wife and daughter and enjoy retro computer games, pretty much all science fiction movies, and if I ever get the opportunity I love to rock climb. I also play bass most weeks in a rocking wedding band. -

Writing poetry and making up stories since she was a child, Ann only began to write for publication when her children left home. Her ambition was to write science fiction, but, fascinated by Swansea Castle and distracted by a major stroke she researched local history, an interest that culminated in the publication of her first book Alina, The White Lady of Oystermouth at Easter 2012.
