Lili Hayward (otherwise known as bestselling historical fiction author Laura Madeleine) is a writer from the West Country with a love for folklore and magical tales. She is the author of A Midwinter's Tail and The Cat of Yule Cottage – both set in Cornwall – as well as ten other novels, which have been translated into over twenty languages. She lives in a cottage in Somerset with an ex-stray tabby cat. 

Sam K Horton is a Cornwall-based author. Trained as a costume designer working in film, theatre and opera, he moved into visual art, always working with narratives, texts and stories. He began writing short stories as part of a creative project to create a fictional island called Eythin in 2019 and became a novelist by mistake. His first book, Gorse, is a story of magic and murder in an imagined 18th Century Cornwall where folklore is real—and deadly. Its sequel, Ragwort, was published in October 2025.
