Naomi Kelsey

Hi, I'm Naomi. I'm a hobbyist author and I've been writing for fun since I was about 10 years old. I couldn't find many of the types of books I loved in the marketplace so I decided to write them myself!

I love mysteries, social satire, books about technology and society, non fiction, and fluffy beach reads about fashion and high society.

I am a voracious reader and love to read.

I hope you enjoy my books!

Malayna Evans

I'm a writer, Egyptologist, mom (2 kids and 2 spoiled Frenchies), friend, avid reader and dedicated coffee drinker.

The thing I'm most excited about at the moment is sharing NEFERURA with the world. The only daughter of Egypt's most renowned female pharaoh, Hatshepsut, we know little about Neferura's life. But in my story, she's a young woman who knows her duty and fears her vile half-brother. When Neferura overhears Thutmose’s plot to end her mother’s rule, she knows he must be stopped, no matter the cost. The discovery of a mysterious tattooed wisewoman and her shadowy network of spies offers an uneasy alliance.

Harriet Evans

I was born in London and grew up there. I was very bookish, and had a huge imagination which used to cause me to get rather anxious at times. Now I know it's a good thing for a writer to have. I loved musicals, and playing imaginative games, and my Barbie perfume making kit. Most of all I loved reading. I read everything, but I also read lots of things over and over, which I think is so important.

At university I read Classical Studies, which is a great way of finding out that the world doesn't change much and people make the same mistakes but it's interesting to look at why. I was at Bristol, and i loved the city, making new friends, being a new person.

After university I came back to London and got a job in publishing. I loved working in p

Kim Curran

Kim was born in Dublin and moved to London when she was seven. She got her first typewriter when she was eight, had a poem she wrote about a snail published in a magazine when she was nine, and that was it – Kim was hooked on writing.

Because she never thought she’d actually be able to make a living as a writer, she decided she needed a trade to fall back on. So, naturally, she went to Sussex University to study philosophy.

While Kim’s plan of being paid big bucks to think deep thoughts never quite worked out, she did land a job as a junior copywriter with an ad agency a week after graduating. She’s worked in advertising ever since, specialising in writing for videogames.
