I’m an artist and writer with a degree in computer science, and a web administrator at an AI company, who writes WWII historical fiction. How much more diverse can you get?

How did I get to be this way? I was that kid in grade school who could draw photorealistic objects with a pencil when everyone else struggled to scrawl straight lines. And, I LOVED storytelling. Just when I hit college thinking I would pursue a fine arts degree, my parents said, “Yeah, not so fast!”

That’s how I became an artist and writer with a computer science degree. I am also a scholar with a love of learning: I graduated summa cum laude from Kent State University in 2003. I’m a member of Phi Beta Kappa. That was twenty years ago. Today I work as a web administrator a

Siobhan Curham

Hi, I’m Siobhan - which for those of you not familiar with the wonder of Irish names, is actually pronounced, Shiv-on!

I’m an award-winning author of over 50 books, fiction and non-fiction, for adults, young adults and children, and my first book was published back in 2000, so I’ve been at this writing game for almost a quarter of a century now.

I’m also a former council estate kid and a university drop-out - I dropped out because I didn’t think I had what it took to make it in the middle class world of publishing. Thankfully I managed to overcome my self doubt and fear and achieve my writing dreams, and now I love helping others do the same through my mentoring, courses and talks.

Welcome to my author page and my novels, including the Hanni Winter series which is the newest of the pack. I write books set primarily in Berlin, covering the period from 1933 up to the fall of the Berlin Wall and dealing with the long shadows left by war. I am a story lover as well as a story writer and this period really fascinates me. Writing about it also means that I get to spend a lot of time in Berlin, which is my second favourite city - my favourite is Buenos Aires.
I am from the North of England but now live very happily in Glasgow with my American husband. If I'm not at my desk you'll most probably find me in the cinema, or just follow the sound of very loud music.

Gosia Nealon

While Gosia Nealon is a proud New Yorker, she was born and raised in Poland. Her journey to the Big Apple revealed a wealth of cultural differences, but also the values that connect us all. Like the fierce desire to protect family, find love, and ultimately, discover who we are and why we’re here.

Gosia’s award-winning short stories have always delved into life’s biggest questions, but it was the drama, sacrifice, and tragedy of WWII that led her to pen her debut novel, "The Last Sketch."
Growing up in Poland, Gosia heard many firsthand accounts of the war, told from a perspective rarely captured in mainstream literature. She was compelled to breathe life into Wanda and Finn, two young people falling in love in the midst of the most terrif

As a child, I could usually be found with a book in my hands and a story streaming through my mind. I'd tell you I loved 'Famous Five' and 'Trixie Belden' but that would show my age.

Anyway, after my pet dinosaur, oops I mean dog, showed no interest in moving from the country to the city with me, I ventured forth into the big wide university world by myself, where I had many adventures and quite a few cups of hot chocolate (sorry to confess I don't drink coffee. Please don't hold it against me. I have other vices. You should see how many empty milk bottles I put back in the fridge).

Eventually I found someone to love and cherish who was a real person (sorry Darcy), and we did some roaming of the world after we were married, and also a bit mor
