AUTHOR: Jane Frances Collen has spent the last umpteen years practicing as a lawyer - but don't hold that against her! She has made a career of protecting Intellectual Property, but at heart always wanted to be writing novels instead of legal briefs. She has written award-winning children's books, The Enjella(R) Adventure Series, using fantasy as a vehicle for discussing the real world problems of children. She has tried to use her talent for storytelling for good instead of evil. But her real love is history. One of her many hobbies is traveling to historical sites around the world and reading the biographies of the people who affected these places. Her books depict modern dilemmas in historical settings, with a touch of humor. Since only one of her parents had a sense of humor, however, Jane feels she is only half as funny as she should be. Much to her husband's dismay, they still live in New York.
EDITOR: Books have always been a part of Kat McIntyre's life. She started early on as a reader and would devour anything she could get her hands on, from non-fiction books to the many fantasy series she ended up falling in love with. When she went to West Chester University, she got her Bachelor's in Literature. From there, she became an author, working with a variety of different publishers, each one offering a unique experience. Collaborating with so many editors and experiencing what a difference they made on her work pushed her in the direction of turning her applied skills to freelance editing. As an editor, she's fallen in love with helping authors produce the best versions of their work possible. In her free time, she has a penchant for board games, diner nights, and adventures.
