Hayden Thorne
Biography
Hayden Thorne has lived most of her life in the San Francisco Bay Area though she wasn't born there (or, indeed, the USA). She's married with no kids and three cats, is a cycling nut (go Team Garmin!), and her day job involves artwork, crazy (read: incomprehensibly fun) coworkers who specialize in all kinds of media, and the occasional strange customer requests involving papier mache fish with sparkly scales.
She's a writer of young adult fiction, specializing in contemporary fantasy, historical fantasy, and historical genres. Her books range from a superhero fantasy series to reworked folktales to Victorian ghost fiction. Her themes are coming-of-age, with very little focus on romance (most of the time) and more on individual growth with some adventure thrown in.

K. C. Warwick
Biography
K. C. Warwick lives in the heart of England, amidst countryside reputed to have inspired both Shakespeare and Tolkien. It's therefore not surprising that she writes history and fantasy, sometimes even combining the two! She has been writing since she could hold a pencil, but finds it considerably easier now that computers have been invented. Although she likes to think of herself as a writer, she also runs a business, looks after horses, and edits a quarterly magazine.
