Get to know the writers who make up Modern Bard
~


Hazel West
~

Besides being the coordinator of Modern Bard, Hazel is an indie author, avid reader, folklorist and coffee connoisseur. She loves best writing retellings and things with an air of the ancient (or not so ancient) supernatural, finding new ways to retell the old stories—sometimes mixing everything together but always with a good dash of found family and friendship. When she’s not writing or reading, she can usually be found sketching, listening to music (usually some kind of rock) and feeding her obsession with shows involving crime, the supernatural, and platonic duos with ridiculous co-dependency.

Lizzie Meddler
~

Miss Meddler (A.K.A Mara A.) is a proud owner of a hedgehog (named Bilbo!), as well as a lifelong reader, musician  and writer. Until recently, short stories aren't her norm. But she's taking a break from novel writing and trying her hand at "the art of the short story". Miss Meddler is discovering that she enjoys it a great deal more than novel writing. When she isn't brainstorming her writing project,  she's reading, watching a lot of BBC period dramas and Attack on Titan, and preparing for the zombie apocalypse with rock climbing, kayaking, and kendo. Currently, Miss Meddler is hard at work on a project very close to her heart: a story series published via short story blog posts. You can find out more about Miss Meddler and her "serialized novel" -The Freelance Chronicles- by visiting the blog!

Caroline Keeth
~

Caroline Keeth is a bookworm through and through and an aspiring published author. She dabbles in other hobbies, her favorite being photography. You can usually find her daydreaming about her stories or wondering what her future holds. She has a love for people and reaching out in any way she can to those around her. She is known for her love of Doctor Who and most any Disney movie and she suffers from a severe case of wanderlust (Ireland and England specifically.) She loved history, but she dreads writing historical pieces, so you can bet most of her writings will be futuristic, contemporary, or completely made up worlds. Her writing influences include: Steven Moffat, Joss Whedon, Leigh Bardugo and Suzanne Collins.

Additional potential amusements happen upon him randomly, these including the sciences, martial arts, film-making, linguistics, photography, tea, strategy, invention, organization, and collection. His favorite color is green and favorite number is 10, two absurdly important facts. He is also quite fond of bananas, cocoa, and foxes.
