Annmarie Miles is from Dublin in Ireland. She is married to a Welshman and they live in Co. Kildare in a house full of books, gadgets and musical instruments. After 6 years of non-fiction blogging on www.auntyamo.com she turned her hand to writing fiction and started a second blog. 'Lizzy' a character who was the subject of the A to Z Blogging Challenge in 2013, is now a weekly feature in local newspaper in Dublin - proving very popular with school children (and adults). Many of the other stories on the fiction blog found their way into a collection. 'The Long & The Short of it' was published in November 2013; a self-publishing project using the services of Emu Ink. Annmarie is currently working on a second collection of short stories as well as a couple of novel ideas.

Sonya Oldwin has a BA in creative writing. She used to write copy for a travel website but found that online travel writing sounds much more glamorous than it is.

She is slowly writing a novel, the beginning of which was published in the Mechanics’ Institute Review 11  year. She is @_supersonya on Twitter and writes 100-word stories on her blog.




Once upon a time, long, long ago, Susan Philip hailed from Canada. She settled in London where she works and plays and writes and edits. Currently, she is juggling her own novel and short story writing, a day job, and the founding and running of a small indie press (Chuffed Buff Books). Susan has a BA in History from Birkbeck, University of London. She loves to read, travel and take photos. Sometimes, when it strikes her fancy, she writes under a pseudonym, sometimes not. Sometimes she gets published, sometimes not. She is tickled to be taking part in National Flash Fiction Day and is looking forward to reading the flood of flash submissions. You can find Susan calling out for anthology subs and pushing her literary wares at www.chuffedbuffbooks.com. Alternatively, for general nattering follow and tweet her @yamnasus.
