Mara Lynn Johnstone grew up in a house on a hill, of which the top floor was built first. She split her time between climbing trees, drawing fantastical things, reading books, and writing her own. There may have been an imaginary friend or ten. She went on to gain a Master's Degree in creative writing, a husband, a son, and two laptop-loving cats. She enjoys writing, drawing, and spending hours discussing made-up things. See more at MaraLynnJohnstone.com

‘Chris Durston refuses to be dull … He doesn’t see the point of writing a story if he can’t take full advantage of the medium and do things within that medium that can’t be done in any other.’

From Devon, in the South West of England, Chris Durston has always wanted to be a writer and only just got around to doing anything about it. Each Little Universe is his debut novel, initially conceived while studying English literature and philosophy at Cardiff University and finally published five years later.

He is now working on too many projects and hopes to have some of them finished before too long; in the meantime, shorter pieces can be found in a range of anthologies and collections. He's also somehow become a founding member of Skullgate Media, an independent writers' collective cum indie publisher.
