Bernadette Quailey
Bernadette Quailey was born in Australia, and grew up in the cities and the outback of Australia. She majored in English and Psychology at university. After graduating she began working in psychological research, first in Australia and later in the Netherlands. Since moving to the Netherlands she has lived in a number of otherwise empty buildings--a defunct seminary, a luxury three storey villa and a church--to prevent them from being squatted (and to save on rent!) She currently lives just outside of Amsterdam.

Kirsten Elliott
I'm a Londoner. I adore my city, but I’m to leave to spend 5 or 6 months travelling around Europe and then go to university to study History and Politics outside of London. I'm currently working as a charity fundraiser. I enjoy writing short stories, and also the lyrics for a gothic jazz band called Weeping Fig. I hope to one day finish a novel, but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to do it.

Sias Bryant
Sias Bryant is quite possibly the busiest writer in her own head that you would ever want to meet. In her writing, she is wild about quirky romantics, odd women of questionable repute, and otherwise industrious, wise o’ dames. Look closely and you will see her just about everywhere you go. Sias is the one in comfortable shoes who most likely gave your lesbian aunt her first real kiss.
