Nicole Buckler has been a world traveller and magazine writer for one billion years. It is her love of ebooks that prompted her to enter the world of the digital story.

Nicole wants to bring geekchic to the chicks. Girl geeks all over the world will be glad of this - especially the hyper-smart chicks who want thrill and wit within the pages of their literary masterpieces.

Stephen is a ridiculously huge fan of SciFi and in his lifetime to date has read approximately one gazillion SciFi and Fantasy books.

Stephen grew up in Wicklow, Ireland, where Mark Star's adventures begin. When asked about Mark Star's current whereabouts Stephen remains resolutely tight-lipped.
