ABOUT US
We are best friends turned sisters-in-law who have been writing together since we were thirteen years old. Our stories began with childhood games of playing pretend and slowly evolved into the very different tale our series tells today. We published our first book together in 2020 and have been at it ever since.
Niamh Schmid:
​
Born in Clifton Park, New York, Niamh is (unfortunately) a human being. She would much rather be off in some pretend world battling an ogre or taming a rabid pegasus, but instead is currently engaging in completing a bachelor's in Piano Performance. In her spare time she cares for her two mini ponies (or monsters), Freddie and Taffie, as well as her Dorkie (dachshund/yorkie mix) Tobie. She also loves to compose, collect stamps, and dabble in being a very mediocre artist.
Rebecca Schmid:
​
Though many seem to miss the fact, Rebecca is actually not Niamh. She is a separate human being, who just so happens to also be from upstate New York, also be a pianist, also love animals and literature and art, also have the last name Schmid... Oh well. Perhaps she's a lot like Niamh. Rebecca lives with her husband and horde of dogs, and spends her time practicing piano, maintaining too many hobbies, and drinking way too much coffee.
