Dona Sarkar was raised in Detroit before making a big move to the suburbs of Michigan in high school. This perspective gave her an outlook on life where she never forgets how fortunate she is to have the life she leads. These days, she’s a urban Seattle-ite who spends her days engineering products for Microsoft and nights writing fiction. She’s also working on building a fashion line while being overseen by a very opinionated tabby named Ash.
Caridad Ferrer always knew she was meant for the arts—she just thought it would be onstage, belting out smoky torch songs with a side of teaching little darlings do-re-mi.

A native Floridian, Ferrer now makes her home in the Pacific Northwest, thriving amidst the cool, rainy weather.
