Jo Robertson really hates writing bios. Some things she enjoys more are horror movies, tormenting random people in bars with her karaoke efforts, wearing black and sitting around on the sofa with her sister drinking wine. She skilfully disguises her creative side in her day to day work, choosing to release it stealthily at home by writing with varying degrees of success, and painting with almost an exclusive lack of success. She is mildly addicted to changing her hair colour and was once approached in a Parisian bar by the owner of a burlesque agency enquiring whether she would like to earn money by spinning around nude in a giant champagne glass. She is currently still considering this offer.
Joleen Kuyper has been writing stories
and poems for a long time but it is only in recent years she has been
using a computer to do so. This was a very fortunate development for her,
as Joleen’s handwriting is more difficult to decipher than most types
of hieroglyphic – usually even she can’t read it. Her imagination tends
to get carried away sometimes, so she relies on long evenings with lots
of red wine to help keep her grounded. Her husband, dogs and cats have
learned to live with her strange ways, although she suspects this may
be because she’s a good cook. On occasion, she also enjoys painting
purple streaks in her hair and wearing shoes with really big heels even
though she’s already quite tall.
E.J. Tett is the author of The Kingdom of Malinas, a young adult
fantasy novel that contains neither wizards nor vampires, but does have
a really big dragon and lots of sword fights. She would like to point
out that she does not enjoy wine, cooks very badly, and has never been
asked to dance nude in Paris, though she has done a photo shoot
involving a camel... in Somerset.
