Author Fiona Horne is one of the world's most respected witches. She is the author of fourteen bestselling books on modern witchcraft, published over the last two decades, which see her writings having a generational impact on the evolution of the modern witch. Her tireless devotion to dispelling negative myths and stereotypes contributes to the freedom of modern witches to practice their craft today without fearing vilification and persecution. Thirty years ago she launched a career in the entertainment industry as the lead singer of number one Aussie 90's electro-rock band, Def FX, before continuing on to be a popular radio and television personality, appearing on many programs around the world. Stepping away from her entertainment career in recent years, she is now a commercial pilot, public speaker and humanitarian/animal aid worker. Her personal passions include being a world record-holding skydiver, professional fire dancer, yoga instructor, freediver and sailor.

Veronica Collins is an illustrator born and raised in Massachusetts where she lives with her husband and their dearly beloved black cat, Barnabas. Her hand is the creative force behind the works of Dark Solis. The influences that guide her creativity are born from her lifelong interest in history, fantasy, occultism and mysticism. Growing up in New England enriched her interest in history and folklore and she takes great inspiration from her surroundings. Veronica’s illustrations come from a place of her own spiritualism as it guides her musings and markings, her vision manifesting through her hands onto paper. The technique in which she is most proficient focuses on expressive line work and has gathered a reputation for being reminiscent of old woodcuts and etchings. Her work is constantly paying homage to the craft of artists such as Aubrey Beardsley, Hans Holbein, Arthur Rackham, Alphonse Mucha, Rockwell Kent and Albrecht Dürer. Veronica's work makes nods to different eras of the past. She strives to capture the feeling of the old ways of a bygone age with a contemporary twist that is all her own.

Veronica has obtained a Bachelor in Fine Arts degree with a concentration in Illustration from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. Among her freelance work, she runs her own online shop selling her work in various forms under the name of Dark Solis.
