Self confessed
chocaholic, Jacinta Maree was born and raised in Melbourne Australia with her
loving family of five. Even as a child Jacinta had an itch to write. Writing
was the one constant hobby she clung to, also trying her hand at piano, flute,
tennis, horseback riding and drama.
Jacinta works
full time in the family business and spends her afternoons either playing
basketball, reading, writing or hanging out with friends. She is always happy
to try something new; getting her real estate license, practicing ninjitshu,
Zumba and parkour to name a few.
For her future,
Jacinta sees herself writing. It is a large part of her identity and something
she hopes to continue. Aside from her love of stories she loves Japan and its
unique and beautiful culture and history. From their delicious sushi dishes
right down to their wooden sandals and kimonos. She is also a huge cat person
and loves to snuggle up in front of the fire for a good movie or book. Her
favorite genres are paranormal and fantasy but she also loves anything written
by thriller writer, Stephen King.

E. C. Hibbs has
lived all her life in Cheshire, north-west England. A lover of stories from an
early age, she wrote her first 'book' when she was five, and throughout school
was a frequent visitor to the younger classes to read her tales to the
children.
Living so near
the coast, she loves anything to do with the sea. She studied Animal Behaviour
at university and longs to work with marine mammals in the future. As well as
nature and animals, she also has a soft spot for history, and loves paying
visits to castles, cathedrals and museums.
There are many
things she could be without, but writing isn't one of them. She carries a pen
everywhere, in case an idea appears, and takes pride in still seeing the world
as brimming with magic. Besides writing, she reads obsessively, her favourite
genres being the classics and all kinds of fantasy. She also enjoys Disney and
horror films, practising Shotokan karate, drawing, archery, and playing with
her very cheeky kitten.

Luke McCallin
was born in England, grew up in Africa, was educated around the world, and has
worked with the UN as a humanitarian relief worker and peacekeeper in the
Caucasus, the Sahel, and the Balkans. His experiences have driven his writing,
in which he explores what happens to normal people put under abnormal
pressures, inspiring a historical mystery series built around an unlikely
protagonist, Gregor Reinhardt, a German intelligence officer and a former
Berlin detective chased out of the police by the Nazis. THE MAN FROM BERLIN was
published in 2013, followed by a sequel, THE PALE HOUSE, in 2014.
Luke was
surprised as anyone that his first book was an historical detective novel,
seeing as he'd grown up with Tolkein, Donaldson and CS Lewis and Anne
McCaffrey! A dragon story is just the ticket to get back to what he always
thought he would write!

SUSAN BURDOF
Susan Burdorf is
a lover of all things sparkly and can often be found spreading glitter everywhere
in hopes the fairies will find her. She grew up reading about the Dragon Riders

she is sure, they will find her and then you will hear her laughter in your
dreams as she flies overhead. Residing near Nashville TN she spends her days at
her normal job, or walking her dog, or stalking the animals at the Zoo in hopes
of finding a fantastical creature or two looking for a new home. She asks that
you contact her if you find any.

Ruthi Kight,
author of Knotted Roots and Burn Out, is excited to announce her
involvement with the upcoming anthology Blood and Scales. The proceeds
of which are being donated to the American Diabetes Association. She currently
lives in South Carolina with her fiancé and two children, aged 7 and 10 months.
After being away from the writing world for a while, she is happy to be back
and ready for action. As long as it’s before 8 pm. Once the kids are in bed,
all bets are off. The best way to reach her is through projecting mental images
while she sleeps…otherwise she will most likely miss your message/text and have
to apologize profusely for days. Don’t worry, she loves to hear from readers
and friends, but don’t be surprised if you catch her sleeping on the job
occasionally.
