Elizabeth Rolls lives in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia with her husband, two sons, several dogs and cats, and a number of chickens. She has a well-known love of tea and coffee, far too many books, and an overgrown garden. Currently Elizabeth is wondering if she should train the dogs to put her sons' dishes in the dishwasher rather than continuing to ask the boys. She can be found on Facebook or readers are invited to contact her at
[email protected] Mary Brendan was always a keen reader of historical romance, especially the Regency period. She also writes gritty sagas under a different pseudonym. She was born in north London, lived for a while in Suffolk, and is now back closer to her roots and her adult sons in a village in Hertfordshire. When time permits, she relaxes by browsing junk shops, or by researching family history.
