Roxane Dhand

Rox Dhand is an acclaimed historical fiction author. Her passion for storytelling began in childhood, spinning tales for her sisters in the back of the family car. Today, that same curiosity drives her to unearth forgotten fragments of history, asking "what if?" until she has to write the full story down.

Dhand is particularly drawn to giving a voice to the voiceless, especially the untold stories of women left out of the history books. Her meticulously researched work, which includes The Pearler's Wife, The Orphan of Good Hope, and The Trouble with Tigers, weaves compelling narratives with a rich sense of time and place. A seasoned traveler, she grounds each of her books in a kernel of truth discovered on her journeys.

Paula Greenlees

Paula has lived in various places, including Singapore, where she was based for three years. It was while living in Singapore that the first seeds of her debut novel, Journey to Paradise developed. The crumbling buildings and the modern high-rises popping up almost overnight seemed to be a metaphor for the social diversity and change in Singapore at that time. However, as a young mother living there, she wondered what it must have been like as a post-war colonial wife living miles away from the familiarity of home. Despite the gloss and glamour of colonial living, women were frequently stuck in unhappy marriages, often unable to follow careers or have the independence to divorce if things went wrong – which they inevitably did.

Linda Ballou

A love triangle of extremes has proven to be a solid base for my writing. From my roots in Alaska I receive strength, solitude, centeredness and respect for the awful power of nature. In Hawaii I found nurturing, a spiritual awakening, sensuality, peace and my heroine for my historical fiction, Wai-nani-A Voice from Old Hawaii. In proud California I obtained a degree in English Literature and a doctorate in urban savvy. I continue to enjoy opportunities here for intellectual stimulation, exciting contacts and friends. It makes a great base for exploits that I share in my travel collection Lost Angel Walkabout-One Traveler's Tales.
