Karen Davison grew up in Bedfordshire, England. She has been an avid reader and a lover of animals since early childhood. The family's first dog, Scamp, started Karen's lifelong love of dogs.

Qualified in Advanced Canine Behaviour, Psychology and Training, she worked as a professional dog trainer and canine behaviourist for over 12 years. She went on to study Advanced Wolf Behaviour and Ecology and was lucky enough to spend time with wolves at the Wolf Conservation Trust in UK.

One of Karen's favourite sayings: 'Saving one dog will not change the world, but surely for that one dog, the world will change forever.' Over the years Karen has shared her life with 21 rescue dogs of various ages, disabilities and behavioural problems and has devoted herself into helping them live their best lives.

Karen has shared her vast knowledge and experience in The Perfect Companion: Understanding, Training and Bonding with your Dog, and a breed specific book for Husky owners: Companion Huskies: Understanding, Training and Bonding with your Dog.

On the lighter side she has published A Dog's Guide to Humans, A Dog's Guide to Cats and It Shouldn't Happen to a Dog Trainer.

After joining a local writers group, she has had both poetry and short stories chosen for publication. Karen is also working on her first fiction novel, which combines her love of writing, wolves and fantasy - Wolf Clan Rising.

She writes the Jodie 'Nosey' Parker cosy crime series for HarperCollins, because she loves thinking about Cornwall, food, and murdering people (not necessarily in that order). She is a sucker for a happy ending (though not for the victim, obviously), a romantic subplot, and the odd cheesy pun.

Fiona is represented by Lina Langlee at the North Literary Agency.

Physicist by training, silicon chip architect by profession and sci-fi fan by inclination. For nearly four decades of technical day job, I've been chasing electrical signals through circuits and systems, wringing out the information they are trying to hide, battling with the monsters lurking within murky forests of transistors. Think of me as the Van Helsing of electronic design.

Over the years I've written a lot of stuff to mentor and encourage others to follow in my tracks - but it only recently occurred to me to make the leap from fact to fiction. So in the precious fragments of spare time that present themselves, I work on short stories, novels and feature screenplays in the sci-fi, technothriller and horror spaces. You'll find me somewhere on the what-if to what-the-Hell continuum...

I live in the Lake District and this inspires my writing. This is the dark and dangerous reality of the area rather than the chocolate box image most people know.

I write for Film, TV, Stage, Radio and Short Stories in a range of Genres. My style is surreal with a dash of humour. The main characters in my work range from Tweenies to their 80s because I believe all people are fascinating. Most are outsiders because they have no urge to conform.

Some people tell me I am much easier to live with when I am writing. Others back off as I chat to my characters, aloud, in public.

Hope you enjoy my work.

Jane writes novels, short stories and poems, usually with a good dose of humour in them. She probably owes it all to her late grandmother who also wrote short stories and poems. She tends to get an idea and then run with it whether it be a 100 word short story or an 80 thousand-word novel. It all depends on the voices in her head at the time…

Maryna Gaidar is a Canadian writer of Ukrainian origin and the author of the mystery series Cassandra’s Shadows. In 2017, she won her first publication in the Twisted 50 competition. She has also been published in a compilation of short Christmas stories in Ukraine.

Maryna gravitates toward period mystery novels, fantasy and sci-fi genres. Her most favoured authors are Remarque, Austen and Nesbo. She enjoys coffee and loves cats.

The best way to acquire new experiences and inspiration, in her opinion, is travelling. In fact, her series of mystery novels Cassandra’s Shadows was inspired by her visit to Highgate Cemetery in London, UK.

One of her dreams is to go on a trip around the world.
