Karen Sherwood
Karen grew up in Australia , in the seaside city of Warrnambool ( she won ’ t take offence if you ’ ve never heard of it !). After a blissful childhood of beach , books , imagination and travel , she attended university in Melbourne . Unsure of what one does with a degree in international relations and medieval history , she went backpacking until a cash shortage saw her working at an investment management firm in London . Whilst there , she interviewed the dashing British analyst who later became her husband . A travel-obsessive with a penchant for moving house , Karen jumped at the chance to accompany him to Hong Kong with their baby son in 2011 . Now with a feisty little daughter to keep her son in line , Karen spends her days writing , refereeing arguments and finding excuses not to cook .
Angela Baura
Angela was born and bred in not-so-sunny England
where she spent her childhood years performing on stage , writing poetry and reading books . Engrossed in the world of words , she forgot to apply to universities . She hastily copied her friend ’ s application forms and found herself studying information technology for three tedious years . After an uninspiring stint in IT consulting , she parted ways with programming and pursued a rewarding career in Public Relations . In 2006 , Angela and her husband moved to Hong Kong where she now spends her adult years performing multiple roles as a mother of three , a writer and communications strategist , and a book-devouring addict .
