ADVERTISING ACCOUNT MANAGER
Angela Baura
Angela was born and bred in not-so-sunny England
where she spent her childhood years performing
on stage, writing poetry and reading books.
Engrossed in the world of words, she forgot to
apply to universities. She hastily copied her friend’s
application forms and found herself studying
information technology for three tedious years.
After an uninspiring stint in IT consulting, she parted ways
with programming and pursued a rewarding career in Public Relations. In 2006,
Angela and her husband moved to Hong Kong where she now spends her adult
years performing multiple roles as a mother of three, a writer and communications
strategist, and a book-devouring addict.

Karen Sherwood
Karen grew up in Australia, in the seaside city of
Warrnambool (she won’t take offence if you’ve
never heard of it!). After a blissful childhood of
beach, books, imagination and travel, she attended
university in Melbourne. Unsure of what one does
with a degree in international relations and medieval
history, she went backpacking until a cash shortage
saw her working at an investment management
firm in London. Whilst there, she interviewed the dashing British analyst who later
became her husband. A travel-obsessive with a penchant for moving house, Karen
jumped at the chance to accompany him to Hong Kong with their baby son in 2011.
Now with a feisty little daughter to keep her son in line, Karen spends her days
writing, refereeing arguments and finding excuses not to cook.
