Holka, co si jde za svým snem. Sangvinička s prvky cholerika, optimistka s věčným úsměvem na tváři a nenapravitelný snílek. No a čtenářka. Ale to už se považuje za samozřejmost.

Girl, who's following her dreams. Sanguinic with a choleric's elements, optimist with eternal smile on her face and incorrigible dreamer. And a reader. But that's commonplace. -

Bill Konigsberg
Bill Konigsberg was born in 1970 in New York City. Expectations were high from birth - at least in terms of athletics. His parents figured he'd be a great soccer player, based on his spirited kicking from inside the womb. As it turned out, the highlight of his soccer career was at Camp Greylock in 1978, when he was chosen for the Camp's "D" team. There were only four levels. Bill played alongside the likes of the kid who always showered alone, the chronic nosebleeder and the guy with recurrent poison ivy.

Early in his life, Bill decided he wanted to be a disc jockey, a professional baseball player, or the Construction Worker from The Village People. None of these career paths worked out for him. Yet. He still holds out hope for a Village Peo -

Společně se svou partnerkou Evou Pospíšilovou tvoří autorské duo. Poznaly se na internetu díky fanouškovské základně Harryho Pottera. Začaly spolu psát, nejdřív fanfikce, pak kratší příběhy, a nakonec vznikla první společná kniha Pátá minuta je o nás.
A protože příběhy narůstaly, rozhodly se založit svoje vlastní stránky szabi.cz, kde publikují knihy, novely a povídky. Romantické, dramatické, ulítlé, zkrátka co je napadne. Jejich poznávacím znamením je, že si za hlavní postavy volí téměř vždycky kluky.
V současné době spolu pracují na dalším příběhu, natáčejí podcasty a věnují se výchově dvou báječných psů. -

Simon James Green
Simon James Green grew up in a small town in Lincolnshire that definitely wasn’t the inspiration for Little Fobbing – so no-one from there can be mad with him, OK? He enjoyed a classic British education of assorted humiliations and barbaric PE lessons before reading Law at Queens’ College, Cambridge, where he further embarrassed himself by accidentally joining the rowing team despite having no upper body strength and not being able swim. When it turned out that being a lawyer was nothing like how it looks in Suits or The Good Wife, and buoyed by the success of his late night comedy show that involved an inflatable sheep, he travelled to London to pursue a glamorous career in show business. Within weeks he was working in a call centre, had b
