Yxavel Magno Diño was born in the Philippines before moving to Australia at a young age, where she soon discovered that almost nobody there knew how to say her name. To make up for it, she spent her time daydreaming about fantasy worlds filled with characters who had more unusual names than she did.
Now, she writes stories about her Filipino heritage and its fantastical folklore. When she's not writing, you can find her drinking copious amounts of black tea, or getting lost in the pages of a book.
Lorraine Turnbull was born and lived in Glasgow until 2015 when she moved her family to a run-down bungalow on an acre of land with an Agricultural Occupancy Condition on it in Cornwall. She began smallholding from scratch, retrained as a horticultural tutor and also worked as a Skills Co-ordinator for The Rural Business School. In 2014 she won Best Individual in the Cornwall Sustainability Awards . After removing the Agricultural Occupancy Condition on her home she relocated to a smallholding in France.
