About Vanessa Kings
I was born on March 14th of 1985, in Rosario, Argentina. At the age of 10 I wrote my first fairy tale as a way to deal with a very painful earache. I found writing comforting and distracting. After that day, I continued writing every time I felt the need of leaving realty behind.
By the age of 18 I had around 120 pieces written, between fairy tales, poems, life’s reflections and other stories. I always wanted to publish my stories but never had the confidence to do it. After my son was born, my husband and my best friend gave me the confidence that I needed to start writing my first book.
I decided to start translating and eventually publish one of my favorite stories, hoping to bring the fantasy and imagination back to all those kids and young readers that would adventure themselves into its pages. That’s how Chronicles of the Nocturnal Forest was born.

About Sue Perry
I’ve had a lot of jobs and several careers – but writing is the only work that has ever mattered. To confirm this, I’ve been a: warehouse clerk, secretary, retail clerk, substitute teacher, bookkeeper, government bureaucrat. Motion picture story analyst, low budget TV producer. Scientific research internship director. Earthquake consultant. Professor. Disaster scientist.
In 1992, I published my first novel, the psychological thriller Was It A Rat I Saw, now available as an ebook everywhere. Somehow 20 years elapsed and in 2012 I published the literary fiction Scar Jewelry, which is currently available as an ebook and trade paperback. 2014 welcomed book 1 in the FRAMES series, Nica of Los Angeles.

So I am a seasoned yet new writer, thanks to that 20-year hiatus. One great change while I was away was the rise of social media, and I would love to connect with you – here, on my blog, or on Twitter.

I lives in southern California, where I’m the mother of twins and companion to multiple non-humans, currently 5 (not a typo. 5.) cats and 1 dog. I love books, live music, beaches, mountains, nature, and the internet. If I had all the money in the world I would have an abode in each of its great cities.
