Hannah Kaner

Hannah has her heart in Scotland and her roots in the north of England.

Hannah’s trade has always been story telling. From creating and unravelling mysteries in Northumberland with her mates, to annoying the hell out of her supervisors at the University of Cambridge by insisting on comparing Terry Pratchett to Charles Dickens, and studying narrative theory in video games.

They grudgingly (or joyfully?) gave her a 1st Class degree in English.

She puts the desire to communicate and challenge into her work in the technology sector, specialising in creating digital tools for hard to reach communities.

Hannah loves the histories and mythologies shared through our cultural histories, the stories we tell ourselves about being human. She also likes s

Iedereen in haar naaste (en verre) omgeving kent Emmelie als het muzikale meisje met het boek in haar hand.

Eric Walters

Eric was born in Toronto in 1957, which makes him "real old". But, as Eric says, "Just because I have to grow old doesn't mean that I have to grow up!" In his many roles as parent, teacher, social worker, youth sports coach and writer he is in constant contact with children and young adults. He draws from these experiences and feels that this helps him to capture the realistic interaction between young people—the conflicts, tensions, stresses and interests that make up their lives.

Eric began his writing as a teacher. He taught in classes from kindergarten up and his stories often reflect the curriculum that he was teaching. He always read stories—picture books and novels—to his students and this helped him to understand what children liked

I am the world’s laziest man.

No…really. Not just a bit slack, really, truly, breathtakingly lazy.

Which is why it’s taken me so long to get off my big, lazy rear end and get myself properly on-line.

I’m the author of the HIVE series of books which I hope that some of the people who stumble across this might have read and enjoyed. Or read and hated…

I am fortunate enough to live with the two most beautiful women on earth. And yes of course I’m hoping they’ll read that and forgive me for any one of the incredibly stupid things I’ll do this month.

I have yet to hold down anything even vaguely approximating a proper job.

I did help make video games a while ago but that was not the best environment for someone as lazy as me.

Nico De Braeckeleer werd geboren in Dendermonde op 8 april 1974. Tijdens zijn jeugd was voetbal zijn voornaamste hobby. Tot 1999 speelde hij veldvoetbal bij KFC Baasrode, daarna ging hij zaalvoetballen. Als kind had Nico een hekel aan lezen. Toen hij 13 jaar was, las hij voor het eerst zonder morren een boek. Geen wonder dat het om een fantasy-boek ging, want dit was lectuur die bij de meeste leraars niet echt in de smaak viel. Vanaf dat moment leest Nico boeken die bijna allemaal onder te brengen zijn in de genres fantasy, science fiction, mysterie, bovennatuurlijke thriller, magisch realisme, griezel en horror. De verhalen die hij las boeiden hem zo sterk dat hij al vlug zelf korte verhaaltjes begon neer te pennen. Hij droomde ervan ooit
