Elizabeth Best

Eli published her first book Eli's Wings, with Penguin Books in 2002. It became an inspirational bestseller with revised edition in 2003 and reprints in Australia and internationally. As a freelance writer, she has published articles in the UK and Australia , including the Melbourne Herald Sun, The Age, The Australian and various other publications. She has consulted on film scripts, presented at educational and corporate events, including national conferences and international expos, and is a proud Ambassador for The Butterfly Foundation.

In her spare time, she enjoys writing songs that no one hears, playing guitar very poorly and doesn’t mind a drop of good red.

She was born in Central Victoria but has spent recent years traveling and living abroad. As a result, she remains happily nomadic and addicted to airline food.

Elizabeth is also the author of Eli's Wings - a memoir.

Colin is the best selling author of a dozen historical novels, including When we Were Gods, Anastasia, My Beautiful Spy and Pearls (under the name Colin Falconer); His work has been translated into sixteen languages. As Mark D'Arbanville he also wrote The Naked Husband and The Naked Heart.

He also published four books for teenagers under his real name - Colin Bowles. At least he thinks that's his real name. He's no longer sure.

He travels widely to research his books, which in the last two years has led him to running with the bulls in Pamplona, cage shark diving in South Africa chasing tornadoes in Kansas and searching out black witches in Mexico.

When not indulging an apparent death wish, he lives in Perth. He claims that if he really was tired of living, he'd move to Adelaide.
