Assaph Mehr

  By

Assaph grew up in Israel, where wherever you dig you’ll find historical relics from the dawn of civilisation. His favourite spot was the port of Jaffa, where layers of cultures could be dug down to the ancient Egyptians, and the many citadels remaining from the crusades and Ottomans. He now lives in Sydney, Australia with his wife Julia, four kids and two cats. By day he is a software product manager, bridging the gap between developers and users, and by night he’s writing – he seems to do his best writing after midnight.

A.M. Rycroft is an award-winning fantasy and horror writer. She wrote her first horror story when she was just eight years old, to the horror of her parents and teachers. No matter how hard they tried, she never bought her college professors’ assertions that “serious” authors didn’t write genre fiction. Rycroft has written six dark fantasy novels, three of which are published, and several short stories, including “Hair”, which most readers agree is one of the creepiest stories they’ve ever read.

She moved, with her husband, to the North West region and has seen both her children born and raised. She returns to Brisbane every year to her family home.
