Douglas Preston
Douglas Preston was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1956, and grew up in the deadly boring suburb of Wellesley. Following a distinguished career at a private nursery school--he was almost immediately expelled--he attended public schools and the Cambridge School of Weston. Notable events in his early life included the loss of a fingertip at the age of three to a bicycle; the loss of his two front teeth to his brother Richard's fist; and various broken bones, also incurred in dust-ups with Richard. (Richard went on to write The Hot Zone and The Cobra Event, which tells you all you need to know about what it was like to grow up with him as a brother.)

Ana María Matute
(Barcelona, 1925-2014) Escritora española. Novelista destacada de la llamada generación de los "niños asombrados", su obra describe el ambiente de la posguerra civil. Ana María Matute se dio a conocer en la escena literaria española con Los Abel (1948), una novela inspirada en la historia bíblica de los hijos de Adán y Eva, en la cual reflejó la atmósfera española inmediatamente posterior a la contienda civil desde el punto de vista de la percepción infantil. Este enfoque se mantuvo constante a lo largo de su primera producción novelística y fue común a otros representantes de su generación.

Susana Rodríguez Lezaun
Nacida en Pamplona el 1967. Periodista de vocación y profesión, licenciada en Ciencias de la Información por la Universidad del País Vasco. Desde pequeña supo que lo suyo era contar historias, unas reales, las que cada día plasma en el diario para el que trabaja, y otras inventadas, las que llenan las páginas de sus cuentos y novelas. Apasionada lectora desde su más tierna infancia, siente predilección por autores latinoamericanos, con especial devoción hacia Gabriel García Márquez, cuyos libros “devoraba” con solo doce años. La novela negra, sin embargo, convirtió la vida a sus ojos en una inmensa trama, en la que cada persona con la que se cruza es susceptible de convertirse en un interesante personaje y cada situación, en una escena llen

I was born in Brasilia, Brazil where I spent my childhood and teenage years. After graduating from high school, I moved to the USA where I studied psychology with specialization in criminal behaviour. During my University years I held a variety of odd jobs, ranging from flipping burgers to being part of an all male exotic dancing group.
I worked as a criminal psychologist for several years before moving to Los Angeles, where I swapped the suits and briefcases for ripped jeans, bandanas and an electric guitar. After a spell playing for several well known glam rock bands, I decided to try my luck in London, where I was fortunate enough to have played for a numbe -

Eric Lodin
I was born in the Midwest and grew up in the South. I've lived abroad and now reside in North Carolina in striking distance of mountains and beach. Nature is important to me. Continually in search of a moral universe, I think mainly about philosophy, ethics, and religion. Writing is how I coalesce my thinking and cope with uncertainty. It’s also fun. Long walks and jogs while listening to poetry, music, and podcasts help keep me sane. A former journalist, I get energy from talking to people in a room (one reason the pandemic was difficult for me). I write in the mornings for no more than two hours. The year I took off to write full time was a disaster; I got pretty good at horseshoes and feeling depressed. Writing is an important part of my
