Anthony Horowitz

• Anthony Horowitz is perhaps the busiest writer in
  England. He has been writing since the age of
  eight, and professionally since the age of
  twenty. He writes in a comfortable shed in his
  garden for up to ten hours per day. In addition
  to the highly successful Alex Rider books, he has
  also written episodes of several popular TV crime
  series, including Poirot, Murder in Mind,
  Midsomer Murders and Murder Most Horrid. He has
  written a television series Foyle's War, which
  recently aired in the United States, and he has
  written the libretto of a Broadway musical
  adapted from Dr. Seuss's book, The 5,000 Fingers
  of Dr. T. His film script The Gathering has just
  finished production. Andoh yesthere are more
  Alex Rider novels in the works. Anthony has also
  written the Diamond Brothers series.

Stephenie Meyer
I was born in Connecticut in 1973, during a brief
blip in my family's otherwise western U.S.
existence. We were settled in Phoenix by the time
I was four, and I think of myself as a native.
The unusual spelling of my name was a gift from
my father, Stephen ( ie me). Though I have had
my name spelled wrong on pretty much everything
my entire life long, I must admit that it makes
it easier to google myself now.
