About the Author
Mana Jay is a multi-genre writer based in idyllic north-west London, often the star of her tales. Writing was her road not taken. During the pandemic she decided to meander this path and hasn't looked back since. Having studied creative writing at Cambridge, she is now a full-time writer and co-founder of writing and publishing platform, WriteSpace Creative Ltd. Mana embraces opportunities to create, craft and collaborate anywhere, everywhere. Her short works have been included in fiction and non-fiction anthologies in German and English. In Hiraeth: Deep Longing, first of a three-part series, she explored the notion of belonging through people and place. In Sawubona, the second in the series, she extends that exploration outward, considering people and place through the act of truly seeing, not only what is before us, but what we become ready to perceive.
Fenna Williams lives and works as a freelance author and creative writing coach as well as a tour guide wherever fate allows her. She studied literature and linguistics at Free University Berlin and later creative fiction and non-fiction writing in Seattle and Cambridge. Since then, she has devoted herself to coaching colleagues of all genres and writing screenplays, short stories, crime novels and travel essays. Under the pen name Auerbach & Auerbach, she writes the well-known crime series about house sitter and translator Pippa Bolle, who is at home all over Europe but particularly enjoys spending time in the UK - just like her creator. In addition to numerous awards for her literary work, Fenna is particularly delighted to have been awarded the 'Goldene Auguste' in November 2024 - an award presented every three years by the Mörderische Schwestern e.V. (Murderous Sisters Association) to a person who has made a significant contribution to crime fiction in German written by women, both nationally and internationally.
