Sev Emanuel Pretila
Sev Emanuel Pretila is a fifteen-year-old Fil-Aussie who now lives with his family in South Australia, Australia. His name is the shortened version of his paternal grandfather's name, Severino. The name means "severe" or "stern" yet Sev is neither; he is fun-loving and friendly although he takes the important stuff seriously if need be.
He was only eleven when he wrote the original version of his debut book, which he then called “Nandi’s Quest.” One of his most favourite recollections is when his parents were freaking out because it had been taking him a very extremely-long time to finish his homework. He recalls those days of seemingly-heated discussions and lengthy pep-talks about time management, meeting deadlines, a sense of responsibili

Terry Birdgenaw
The author, Terry Birdgenaw, is a Metis of Oji-Cree, English, Scottish, Dutch and French-Canadian heritage, whose mother’s first cousin is a long-time lead elder of the Metis Nation of Canada. However, Terry would argue that by moving away from the Oji-Cree territory a few generations ago, his family became assimilated by European Canadian culture. Yet, Terry has long been fascinated by the story of his ancestor, Mistigoose, the indigenous Canadian woman who was the first to welcome a European into his mother’s family line.

It all began with Alan Moore’s “The Anatomy Lesson”.
Buy books on Amazon
When I was far too young to be reading such things, I picked up a small, dirty, plastic-wrapped comic digest from my local library. The first and featured story was a piece by Alan Moore which started with the line: “It’s raining in Washington tonight.”
It tells the story of a mad doctor who is awaiting the resurrection of a character whose name I won’t reveal here.
Suffice it to say, I was both horrified and intrigued. My young mind had never encountered such a dark and twisted tale, whose ending at the time shocked me. I remember being transfixed by the power of Alan Moore’s imagery and the depth of his narrative. That story still haunts me to this day.

You might think that being a judge would be a satisfying job. And for years, the Honorable Judge Kludge would’ve agreed with you. He took enormous delight in his gavel pounding ability every time he dispensed justice. Moreover, he was very talented at furling his eyebrows. During trials, he loved to remain silent and communicate his will only through eyebrow movement.
