Her books are full of fierce heroines, morally grey men, shadowy magic, and slow-burn romantic tension that will emotionally ruin you (in the best way). Her characters are brave, bold, and brilliant — unlike Gem, who is terrified of moths and would much rather be hiding under a blanket with a cup of tea.
When she’s not writing (or *trying* to write while her two small daughters reenact a WWE match in the background), you’ll usually find her reading, gaming, or deep-diving into her favou -

A.J. Wilton
For the first fifteen years after I left university, I put in the hard slog. I had an ordinary job, a predictable salary and a hefty mortgage. I lived near London. Culture and pollution oozed out of every pore of the magnificent capital in equal measure, and I loved the challenges, the pace and the variety of that chapter of my life.

But then I had a family, and my entire perspective transformed. I moved to the East Coast of Australia and went from scraping ice off my windscreen to wiping sweat from my face at Christmas time. To start with, I was completely disorientated, but now I’m at home, writing books in paradise.
That sea change inspired my first novel, ‘Universal Values’.
The process of deciding to move, and the complete metamorphosis i -

After working in politics and government for years, she decided to merge modern politics into fantasy and sci-fi settings. One thing is always certain; her stories are about women and their inherent power.

Sedigitus Swift
Sedigitus Swift is a historian by day and a pseudonymous fantasy author by night (as well as during eclipses or otherwise under cover of darkness). After toiling for twelve years at the U.S. Department of Justice, he became one of two in-house historians at Archelaus (because what upstart publishing house doesn’t need at least two?). When not diverting himself by writing Tales from Ondiran, an offbeat series of medieval fantasy novellas, he specializes in the perplexities of modern Central and Eastern Europe. No doubt he has other equally perverse interests, but we are not currently certain exactly what those might be.
