Kristen Grace Hall has been drawing all her life, and wants to use her talent to serve God. She is mostly self-taught, but has taken some classes in Studio Art and Art History, as well as in Drawing and Composition. Her areas of specialty include horses, dragons, and fantasy art, but it was her love of horses that first inspired her to draw. She is thankful for this opportunity to help tsunami victims in Japan.

Kristen illustrated her mother's story, "Healer," in book 1 and contributed several calligraphy-style spot illustrations for book 2.

Charlotte Winroth is a freelance artist from Sweden. She works primarily in fantasy and Science Fiction and has contributed her work to several game companies and publications.

Charlotte's comments:

"It was like biting a rotten fruit" was the first sentence I learned in Japanese, from the intro song to one of my many anime experiences. Japanese culture is invigorating and alluring, worthwhile and unforgettable. I hope to leave my cold home in Sweden, where Yuki Onna reigns supreme, and settle in Japan one day.

Charlotte was inspired by the story of Yuki-Onna and contributed several illustrations exploring the different facets of the character. “Yuki-Onna’s Breath,” “To Love or Not to Love,” “Brave Quest for Love,” and “Yuki-Onna from the Darkness.”
