About the Author

Kristina was born in California, the second of four incredibly goofy children. She always dreamed of seeing the world, which is exactly what she did. She currently resides in Ireland with her husband, Robin, and takes every chance she gets to see new places and meet new people. Her greatest ambition is to change the world, one story at a time.
Frances was born in Nottingham, the land of Robin Hood and now lives in London writing for stage, film, and books. Her love of storytelling came from spending weekends with her grandma, watching old Hollywood movies. Katharine Hepburn was always an inspiration when imagining Miss Lily Todd. One day Frances hopes to live by the sea with two rescue greyhounds, a cozy chair, and lots of good books.
