Lynley grew up in Christchurch, New Zealand, and now lives near Canberra, Australia.

Her short stories have appeared in various small press British anthologies and in the Australian produced Eclecticism Dark Fiction Ezine, issues #9, #10, #14, #15, #16.

The brevity of language required by the short story format was put to use when writing The Artifacts, her first story for middle grade children.

Although Lynley studied art all through high school, since then she had only ever painted for fun. The Artifacts was a crash course in digital art. After 8 months illustrating via computer, she finally feels at home holding a Wacom pen.

Daniel Hare – coder

Dan grew up on the central New South Wales coast of Australia. He has always been interested in programming. As a kid, he used to spend his pocket money on computer magazines like Zzap, then code simple programs which took hours and hours to punch into his family’s Commodore 64. He also used to help the librarian fix problems with the IBM PC at school.

No one was surprised when Dan decided to study computer science at the University of Canberra. Dan now specialises in databases at his day job, but has maintained a childhood curiosity for all things programming. He has taught himself how to code in various languages, most recently in Objective C.
