Born and bred in Perth, Western Australia, Fionna was raised on a far too paranormal diet of X-files, Are you Afraid of the Dark, Fact or Fiction and a plethora of other completely age-inappropriate TV shows. This has led to not only a peculiar open mind, but also a taste for the delightfully mysterious and macarb.

After studying marine science and working for several years within the commercial fishing industry, Fionna finally decided to test run those voices that had taken up space in her head for far too long. 

When Fionna is not sitting in front of the computer screen trudging through painstaking first drafts, hanging out with her two kids, an oversized pooch and one amusingly logical husband. You can usually find her listening to podcasts, baking cakes, following that black line in the pool, or with her head in an array of books.

Layla Moon is an International Bestselling Indie Author. She resides in the Swan Valley, Western Australia with her morally grey husband and children. 

Layla's writing style is nothing short of dark and naughty. Where the darkness is always thrilling, the men are forever stupidly sexy (for what other reason than uhh hello, why not) the women are absolute weapons and the spice is always spicing.
