Paula Baker and her son, Aidan Davies, wrote the middle-grade fantasy trilogy Rebels of Halklyen, The God Sword, and The White Wolf, along with its prequel, Raptor’s Call. Their latest release, Dirt Town, is a magic-filled young adult steampunk fantasy.
Baker grew up on a farm in Manitoba where she spent as much time reading everything from Enid Blyton to Charles Dickens as she did playing her trumpet, building treehouses and riding her bike. After earning a Bachelor of Music Education from Brandon University and a Master’s in Gifted Education from the University of North Texas, she worked as a band teacher and librarian for thirty-five years.
Davies grew up in British Columbia reading Percy Jackson and Harry Potter, playing Legend of Zelda and Assassin’s Creed, and building longswords out of wood. After attending the University of British Columbia, he earned a degree in mathematics. During the day, he analyzes data, while at least part of his brain continues to develop the fantasy worlds where his stories take place. They live in British Columbia, Canada.
