Born in Athens, Greece as an Air Force brat, Teri M Brown 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. She published five nonfiction self-help books dealing with real estate and finance, receiving "First Runner Up" in the Eric Hoffman Book Awards for 301 Simple Things You Can Do To Sell Your Home Now, finalist in the USA Best Books Awards for How To Open and Operate a Financially Successful Redesign, Redecorate, and Real Estate Staging Business and for 301 Simple Things You Can Do To Sell Your Home Now, and Honorable Mention in Foreword Magazine's Book of the Year Award for Private Mortgage Investing. In 2017, 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 Sunflowers Beneath the Snow in January 2022. Teri's second novel, An Enemy Like Me, is launching in January 2023. 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 bargains, ballroom dancing, playing bridge, and mentoring others – especially youth and women who are having trouble discovering their worth.

Lorrie D. Grant is a storyteller with a message. She is always looking for an adventure and always has a story to tell. Lorrie decided to capture a few of her life stories a few years ago, simply to save her lessons learned for her two daughters. This unexpectedly led to creating a blog, which then led to the writing of her first children's book, "Why is there an Elephant in my Basement?" released in 2017. The following year she released her second book, "Little White Flies", and her third book, "I am Beautiful Too", was released in 2019. Lorrie has a background in Corporate Business Operations, but is most passionate about making a difference in the lives of others.

Hi there!

My name is Phil Strangolagalli. I am the author of "Jesus Loves Movies" an independently published book that uses movies to help people out in life. I've had the honor of my book being in over 500+ Barnes and Noble stores, Target, Walmart, and independent book stores all throughout the U.S.

Jesus Loves Movies has been recognized by Tim Tebow, Rick Warren, T.D. Jakes, and Joshua Dubois. I've received emails, letters, and DMs from people saying how my book has impacted them.

I went through a rough time in my life and movies were a place of comfort for me from a lot of the trauma I went through. It really is a story of how I overcame trauma and learned to cope. It was never supposed to be a book—but it became one.

I hope to be a person that encourages and provides hope to people who are in rough times. That using a creative outlet can help people work through complex emotions.

Sarah lives in Lehi, Utah and is a die hard fantasy nerd that can't stop talking about dragons and anime. She's trying to get through school by creating her own worlds and characters, and has written six novels. Her latest is YA Fantasy Romance Novel "Stone Cold" containing 308 pages of clean reading published through Morgan James in New York. She makes friends, but only with people who can stand her habit of constantly talking during movies to critique the plot, her memorization of the How to Train your Dragon wikipedia page, and a monologue explaining why Doctor Strange is obviously the best avenger.

"We're all looking for more—more connections, more love, more understanding. And to laugh along the way."

Douglas Robbins is the author of several books, including Narican: The Cloaked Deception, a science fiction piece about the evolution of souls, and his most recent, Love in a Dying Town, a story about a single father raising his daughter in a dying factory town, showing her right from wrong, even as the world crumbles around them, even as parts of him do as well.

As a writer and as an individual, Douglas seeks deeper truths that are often hidden in plain sight, or swept under society's dirty rug.
