Nicholas Lochel grew up in Brisbane Australia along with his two brothers and sister Alison with whom he is co-writing the ZARKORA series. It was the close bond he shared with his siblings that first inspired the story. He has held a wide variety of jobs over the years including work as an actor a bartender and a postie but his love for stories and the pursuit of a career as an author has remained constant throughout. He devotes most of his time to writing and when he is not seen with a pen and paper or a good book he can usually be found riding his Triumph motorcycle about town or on some grand adventure.

Alison Lochel (Author)
Alison Lochel for as long as she can remember aspired to be an author. At the age of fourteen she began writing the first book in the ZARKORA series THE FYRELIT TRAGEDY along with her brother Nicholas. Her passion for writing continues to this day as the four-book series nears its completion. She has a cupboard full of dragons and has been known to read for long periods of time - so long in fact that she is often coated by a thin layer of dust. Achoo!
