Terri Sinclair (Curin) lives in Dunedin, New Zealand. She is a long-time reader and book lover. Terri has made a career from writing in a range of communications, marketing, publishing, and digital media roles. Follow Me In is her first novel.
Josh Morgan (Te Aitanga-a-Mahaki, Rongowhakaata, Te Whanau-a-Kai) lives in Wellington with the author Sacha Cotter, their family and a vast hoard of picture books. Josh grew up in the mighty Manawatu, spending his school days drawing silly things in the back of his exercise books. He now works as an illustrator creating pictures for books, TV and animation. He still draws silly things as an adult, but mostly on bills and meeting notes. Isobel Te Aho-White (Ngati Kahungunu, Ngai Tahu) grew up a bit quiet and shy in a large family. She loved stories and storytelling, especially about history and folklore, and was very much an outdoors kid, taking inspiration from nature. She always knew she wanted to be an illustrator, and now she tells visual stories through her art and children's books, which embrace her close connection to her whakapapa and to nature. Ross Calman (Ngati Toa, Ngati Raukawa-ki-te-tonga, Ngai Tahu) is an author, editor and licensed translator. He is the translator and editor of He Pukapuka Tataku i nga Mahi a Te Rauparaha Nui | A Record of the Life of the Great Te Rauparaha by Tamihana Te Rauparaha, and co-author of Te Tiriti o Waitangi/The Treaty of Waitangi (with Mark Derby and Toby Morris) and more. Margaret Sinclair has worked in publishing in New Zealand and the UK for many years. Early on she trained as a primary school teacher but quickly turned to the world of books, thinking - mistakenly as it turned out - that books couldn't be unruly or disruptive. She loves it.

Abbey and Money Singh are The Modern Singhs, social media celebrities based in Auckland. In 2019 a video of their traditional Punjabi wedding went viral on YouTube, and they started their channel, called The Modern Singhs, which quickly gained 1.3 million subscribers. Creating joyful videos is now the couple's full-time job, with a mission to celebrate love, culture and bringing families together. They live on the North Shore with their two children.
Anendra Singh started his journalism career on completing his tertiary studies in Suva, Fiji. He two-fingered his way with a typewriter through the stone-subbing era before emigrating to New Zealand in 1988, following the military coup in his birth country the year before. With his father working under coup leader Sitiveni Rabuka’s ministry as a senior civil servant, the journalist made a life-defining decision to carve a niche in the NZ media landscape. This maiden book is an extension of his love of writing. As a casualty of the pandemic, the redundant scribe lets his mind run wild during the lockdown last year. With bullying rife in the NZ workplace, he wove a riveting plot countless people may identify with globally. He also has entered the ‘intriguing’ world of freelance writing to keep alive his love for written words.
