Lotte van den Noort (1995) is a Dutch author born in the Brabant municipality of Helmond. From the moment she learned how to use pen and paper, Lotte began writing numerous short stories in notebooks, which she proudly and enthusiastically shared with her classmates. Her teacher told her even back then that he believed in her potential.

At the age of fourteen, after reading an article about a young girl who had published her own book, Lotte thought, “I can do that too!”

Lotte’s passion lies in historical stories. Her mother often told her she has an “old soul.” At times, Lotte wonders if she was born in the wrong era, as she finds stories set in the past deeply captivating and moving.

In addition to writing, Lotte works as a graphic designer, specializing in book covers and interiors for various publishers and authors.

Award-winning author of the Gearteeth trilogy and Clockwork Courtesan books, Timothy Black was born in the Deep South where he hit the road at an early age and quickly learned it could hit back. Driven by an insatiable curiosity, he studied Geology and Astronomy, ending up with a degree in Philosophy that twists through his writing. After traveling the world to find his great loves he settled down in the Pacific Northwest, determined to craft stories that defy confinement to any single genre. A serial killer of coffee and whiskey sours, he stays one step ahead of retribution with a rebellious cackle and knowing wink. You can find a treasure trove of his stories at his Patreon.
