Heather Sharp

As a young girl, Heather aspired to carry on her family's legacy and become a professional cowgirl.

Having competed against men all her life, Heather felt undeterred and disregarded the fact that only 1% of airline pilots were female. So at 17, she traded her lariat for a cockpit.

She spent the next decade flying freight and commuter routes, reminding herself, "Cowgirls don’t cry." Dust yourself off and get back on that horse.”

An economic downturn led to a hiring freeze at major airlines. Remarkably, just four days before reaching the age limit, the Air National Guard selected

Ravi Yaranian

Ravi Yaranian writes emotional and healing fiction that blends storytelling with truths about sacrifice, resilience, and the cost of caring for others. His upcoming novel, The Cost of Healing, is the first book in The Healers’ Testament.

Inspired by his own struggles, Ravi’s writing is deeply personal. “When I first began writing The Cost of Healing, I thought I was telling a story about sacrifice. But somewhere along the way, I realized this wasn’t just fiction—it was a mirror of my own life, of the weight I carried, and the silence I learned to live in.”

His hope is that every reader finds a piece of themselves in Elera’s journey—and remembers that compassion is not weakness, but power.
