An-Mari do Carmo

An-Mari do Carmo grew up on a farm in North-West, South Africa. From the moment she learned to read, books were her best friends, and she started writing her own stories from the age of nine.
Growing up, she was raised to be part of the KwaSizabantu (KSB) Mission, which she later realised is a legalistic cult. After attending school on the Mission, she went to study Languages and Literature with an emphasis on Creative Writing at the North-West University, Potchefstroom, and broke all ties with KSB while learning about the grace of the true gospel of Jesus Christ.
After graduating she started working as a children's book editor, furthering her love for the book world.
Today she is married and devotes her life to books, her family and her fait

Martin Steyn

[English version follows below ...]

Martin Steyn het begin skryf as gevolg van Stephen King. Nadat hy The Dark Half gelees het, was hy selde sonder ’n boek met Stephen King se naam voorop. En toe tel hy ’n potlood op en skryf ’n storie van sy eie. ’n Paar jaar later het reeksmoordenaars hom na die misdaadgenre toe gelok. Dit het Steyn gefassineer dat hierdie mans vreemdelinge vir hulle plesier jag en hy het begin om boeke oor Jeffrey Dahmer en Andrei Chikatilo te lees, terwyl hy die plaaslike koerant dophou vir berigte oor ’n reeksmoordenaar wat die liggame van jong seuns tussen die duine los, skaars 30 km van Steyn se huis af.

Hy het Sielkunde en Kriminologie deur die Universiteit van Suid-Afrika studeer, en ’n honneursgraad in eersgenoemde

Leah Thomas

Leah Thomas once wrote from a house in the woods, and now an apartment more or less by the sea (well, less). Her debut novel BECAUSE YOU'LL NEVER MEET ME was a 2016 Morris Award finalist, and its sequel, NOWHERE NEAR YOU, is out now from Bloomsbury. Her third YA science fiction novel, WHEN LIGHT LEFT US, hit shelves this February.

A graduate of Clarion 2010, her short fiction has appeared in Asimov’s, Black Static, Ideomancer, and Three-Lobed Burning Eye, among others. She's mostly a dork and always feels uncomfortable about author bios. If she's not writing, she's likely teaching or cosplaying. Follow her on instagram (@fellowhermit), or on tumblr (cuttoothom).
