Kelley Armstrong

Kelley Armstrong has been telling stories since before she could write. Her earliest written efforts were disastrous. If asked for a story about girls and dolls, hers would invariably feature undead girls and evil dolls, much to her teachers' dismay. All efforts to make her produce "normal" stories failed.

Today, she continues to spin tales of ghosts and demons and werewolves, while safely locked away in her basement writing dungeon. She's the author of the NYT-bestselling "Women of the Otherworld" paranormal suspense series and "Darkest Powers" young adult urban fantasy trilogy, as well as the Nadia Stafford crime series. Armstrong lives in southwestern Ontario with her husband, kids and far too many pets.

Andrew Hallam

I have a romantic idea. It isn't the red roses, candlelight dinner kind of thing (although that's a nice notion too).

Instead, I want to help people spend time with the people and passions they love. Sound corny? Bear with me for a moment.

Financial independence buys time. That's where my books and talks come in. I want to show people how to invest. The financial industry says, "Hey, let us help!" But few enter this industry to make the world a better place. Would Mother Teresa (or any of her friends) have worked for Goldman Sachs?

Instead, with few exceptions, it's an industry of vultures. So let me show you how to find the right kind of (rare) financial advisor, or invest on your own.

This will give you financial freedom. You'll be able to s
