Dominique's Bio:
Pre-Covid, Dominique built a career in the arts as a touring content creator and Jill-of-all-trades for musicians. Traveling the country and learning new stories, places, arts and culture was pure magic for the girl from a town of 2,000. 

During the pandemic, after being home in small-town Arkansas for months, she got to work building on an idea that had been in mind for a few years at that point - a coffee company.

With a bit of tweaking to serve the current climate, hence the e-commerce focus, and a unique angle, taking an active role in legacy preservation, Dominique single-handedly formulated everything from the brand concept to bag designs and built a priceless partnership with a small woman-owned roastery to pair this stunning concept with a truly quality product.

Her main goal is to create a launching pad for inspiration amongst consumers and bring the stories of our past back into homes.

For all authors, those interested in Eastern and Western Medicine and fans of historical fiction: Take a transformative journey with Award-winning Author Teri Brown who talks about her latest book "Daughters of Green Mountain Gap" and the rich tapestry of heritage it weaves then listen closely as she shares the tale of her cross-country tandem bike ride and how it influenced her storytelling, the secrets of her unique writing process and then provides a blueprint on book promotion marketing and social media for authors.

Terri Brown's Bio:
Born in Athens, Greece as an Air Force brat, Teri M Brown came into this world with an imagination full of stories to tell. She now calls the North Carolina coast home, and the peaceful nature of the sea has been a great source of inspiration for her creativity.

Not letting 2020 get the best of her, Teri chose to go on an adventure that changed her outlook on life. She and her husband, Bruce, rode a tandem bicycle across the United States from Astoria, Oregon to Washington DC, successfully raising money for Toys for Tots. She learned she is stronger than she realized and capable of anything she sets her mind to.

Teri graduated from UNC Greensboro with a multitude of degrees – majors in Elementary Education and Psychology and minors in Math and Sociology – she just couldn’t settle on one thing! While homeschooling her four children, she began her writing career by focusing on small businesses, writing articles, blog posts, and website content. During this time, Teri published five nonfiction self-help books dealing with real estate and finance. 

In 2017, after finally getting out of an emotionally abusive 14-year marriage, Teri began dabbling in fiction, a lifelong dream. Upon winning the First Annual Anita Bloom Ornoff Award for Inspirational Short Story for a piece about her grandfather, she began writing in earnest, and published her debut novel in 2022, Sunflowers Beneath the Snow, a historical fiction set in Ukraine, which has won 12 awards including Finalist in the 2023 Feathered Quill Book Awards for Women’s Fiction, 1st place 2022 Incipere Award for Historical Fiction, and 2022 Book Shelf Award Winner. Her second novel published in 2023, An Enemy Like Me, takes place during WWII, winning 23 awards including Finalist for the 2022 Hemingway CIBAs, Finalist for the NIEA in Military Fiction, and 1st Place Book Fest Awards Spring 2023 for historical fiction. Her latest novel, Daughters of Green Mountain Gap, a generational story about Appalachian healers came out in January 2024.

Teri is a wife, mother, grandmother, and author who loves word games, reading, bumming on the beach, taking photos, singing in the shower, hunting for in bargains, ballroom dancing, playing bridge, and mentoring others – especially youth and women who are having trouble discovering their worth.
