Kram Rednip is a former international management consultant and business writer with dual French/British nationality, who has travelled widely in the course of his professional career. He now lives quietly in France with an independent-minded wife and some cats.

His good friend Clovis Buckram (who makes an appearance in the Kram Kollection) says this of him:

“Kram Rednip? Oh, he’s quite a decent sort, really. Can be a bit of a wimp at times. Fancies himself as a bit of an author, with all his scratchings and scribblings. Don’t see him making it onto the Booker Prize shortlist myself, but you never know, I suppose.”

S L Saunders is the author of Ellie and the Underworld and a passionate storyteller with a love for the enchanting and the unexplained. Known for her work in magical realism, Sharon’s writing often blurs the line between reality and fantasy, inviting readers into worlds where the ordinary meets the magical. Sharon has a growing interest in writing romance infused with a hint of the supernatural. She hopes to brings a fresh, whimsical twist to her latest Christmas short story. When she’s not writing, Sharon enjoys exploring nature, spending time with her family and two dogs, and dreaming up new tales that capture the heart and imagination.

J.W. Jones writes tense, character-driven psychological thrillers that linger like cigarette smoke in a courthouse hallway. Raised between small towns and gray coastal nights, Jones has lived extremes, from hunger on the street to penthouse windows, from running businesses that rose and fell to a stint behind bars, and he uses those contradictions to map how ordinary lives calcify into quiet violence. Retired at forty after building and losing empires, he now travels the country with his wife, plotting late at night over strong coffee and true‑crime podcasts. If you like novels that scratch where it hurts and then study the scar, start here.
