Wields a pleasantly scented trolley dog and writes with the authority of a seasoned auditor

Writer of mostly historical Scottish black comedy, obsessed with witches and lore-accurate Fae. Warning: can be bleak.

Poetry with painfully contrived rhyming that somehow manages to be funny and make complete sense.

Teacher of English Literature and excellent maker of coffee, she joined us after providing the wifi password and turned out to also be really good at gender politics. Everyone wins

Bike hero and writer of nervous comedy. Speak clearly and try not to shout

Comedy. Hard, fast, mostly sci-fi with lots of state shifting and time-warping. A pneumatic drill of quantum nonsense
