Mona Liza Santos

Mona Liza Santos is the author of inspirational and motivational rhyming stories, heartwarming self-love books, and even a few spooky tales — all written with children in mind. Inspired by her son and kids everywhere, Mona writes to spark an early love of reading and to remind young readers of the importance of kindness and staying true to themselves.

For Mona, writing began as an escape and has become her way of creating a legacy she and her son can be proud of. When she’s not writing, you’ll likely find her enjoying time with her son, strolling through parks, relaxing at the beach, reading a good book, or dreaming up her next story.

A lifelong traveler, Mona has visited over 70 countries (and counting), but her greatest joy remains seeing h

D.L. Heather

D.L. Heather is is best known for her award-winning poetry book, Life Interrupted.

Writing came into her life in her teens by way of therapy and the exploration of healing through journaling. Her writing is motivated by her experiences with childhood trauma, love, loss, healing, heartbreak, and self-discovery. Her words take many on a roller coaster of downfalls and rediscovery.

A private person by nature, she prefers to let her work speak for itself, in the way poetry allows her to. She hopes to inspire others and reinforce the fact that you are not alone.

When she isn’t writing in her studio, she enjoys travelling, reading, movies and gardening. Connect with her online @dlheatherpoetry

Janice Garden Macdonald

I'm a Canadian mother and grandmother with a passion for writing. I've been lucky enough to receive a number of awards in different genres including the Zoetrope short fiction award and the Moondance Film Festival award for an animated screenplay.

I'm a recipient of a Canada Council Grant for my efforts in the short story genre.

Years ago, I was the happy owner of a modest bookstore, where I spent endless hours reading on the slow days, (of which there were far too many) and writing my own stories on the other slow days!

I love to entertain children and I believe there is nothing so fine as a book that can make you smile.

I live with my husband and my dog, Rufus, in Ontario where we keep watch over a wetland conservation area.

Christine Adams

At the age of 7, I immigrated to the US with my mom, aunts, uncle, and grandma in 1990 through the sponsorship of a church. We were first transported to the Philippines and stayed there for around 6 months before flying to Fort Worth, Texas.

In the Philippines, we were given a little one-bedroom hut and used whatever money we were allowed to bring to buy little snacks, which we sold at the storefront of our house. It wasn't much income, but we didn't need much to survive because almost everything was provided through the sponsorship. Every week we would gather at the center of town and were given soap, toothpaste, food, and other necessities, all of which were divided up according to how many people were in the family. Soap and gourd were so
