Dana Cameron

[From the author's own website]

I was born and raised in New England and I live in Massachusetts now, with my husband and benevolent feline overlords. Mine is a quiet, fairly ordinary life. I love that because it's what saves me from an overdeveloped sense of paranoia and a tendency to expect the worst. Combined with an eye for detail and a quirky take on life, these traits give me a vivid internal life, one that's sometimes a little nerve-wracking, but very useful for writing mystery and suspense.

My interest in archaeology stems from childhood, where my interest in books and the opportunities I had to travel made me begin to think about cultural differences. The thing I like best about this work is that it is a real opportunity to try and r

T.A. Williams

Firstly, my name isn't T A. It's Trevor. I write under the androgynous name T A Williams because 65% of books are read by women. In my first book, one of the (female) characters suggests the imbalance is due to the fact that men spend too much time getting drunk and watching football. I couldn't possibly comment. Ask my wife...
I've written all sorts: thrillers, historical novels, short stories and now I'm enjoying myself hugely Cozy Mysteries. I lived and worked in Italy for a number of years, married an Italian, and fell in love with the country. I set almost all my books in Italy and I hope that my love from the country shines through my work.

Merryn Allingham

I was born into an army family and spent my childhood moving around the UK and abroad. Unsurprisingly it gave me itchy feet and in my twenties I escaped an unloved secretarial career to work as cabin crew and see the world.

I still love to travel and visit new places, especially those with an interesting history, but the arrival of marriage, children and cats meant a more settled life in the south of England, where I've lived ever since. It also gave me the opportunity to go back to 'school' and eventually teach at university.

I've written seven historical novels, all mysteries with a helping of suspense and a dash of romance - sometimes set in exotic locations and often against a background of stirring world events.

Karen Taylor

I started writing books around 18 years ago -- about two years before the birth of my son. It is no coincidence that for the past 16 years my work has tracked his progress -- from the fairytale world of The Toffee Makers, through to Sci-Fi and the Star Wars-inspired Turbulence, to the harsher realities of Off The Rails, my young adult book.

I'm a writer and journalist with over 25 years of editorial experience. I've contributed articles to newspapers, including The Financial Times, Evening Standard, and The Far Eastern Economic Review, as well as features for London Magazine and a variety of other publications. I am currently managing editor of Magazine World, the flagship title of FIPP -- The Worldwide Magazine Media Association.

Anna Mara

I've been writing for a few years now, having studied screenwriting at a well known film school. I've always loved creating romantic stories and wanting to try my hand at penning a novel, I decided to turn one of my screenplays into a book. HER PERFECT REVENGE was born.

But because I come from a screenwriting background, I tend to write my books more like movies. As you read my novels, you'll find yourself 'watching' that film playing inside your head while at the same time, feeling all of the emotions that my crazy characters are going through. My first and most important goal as a writer is always that I want you to have FUN with my stories. I hope that I can accomplish that for you!
