Wade Kelly
Wade Kelly lives and writes in conservative, small-town America on the east coast where it’s not easy to live free and open in one's beliefs. Wade writes passionately about controversial issues and strives to make a difference by making people think. Wade does not have a background in writing or philosophy, but still draws from personal experience to ponder contentious subjects on paper. There is a lot of pain in the world and people need hope. When not writing, she is thinking about writing, and more than likely scribbling ideas on sticky notes in the car while playing "taxi driver" for her three children. She likes snakes, can’t spell, and has a tendency to make people cry.

K.L. Belanger
K.L. Belanger has always had a love affair with words, so it just seemed natural she would grow up to use those words to paint a portrait of a love affair; of romance and passion and the struggle of the heart to overcome all the obstacles the world throws in the path of those who—by choice or design—dare to walk a different path. To choose to love, despite the obstacles, is the highest form of courage, and to give oneself without restraint, the most beautiful picture of sacrifice. To change the world, we must first choose to change ourselves.

I am a middle-aged man, born in the far reaches of upstate New York - parts that give the word "rural" meaning. Now I live in Washington, DC.
When one of those milestone birthdays hit me and scared the crap out of me, I realized there were more years behind me than there were in front of me. My mortality hit me like someone dropping a load of bricks on me.
With that realization, I constructed a bucket list of things I absolutely had to do in the years (hopefully many) that I have left. Writing a book was one of them and was near the top.
My biggest influences when growing up were my two grandmothers. Both were ferociously strong women who were widowed way too yo -
Elizabeth Fontaine
For Elizabeth Fontaine, growing up Buddhist in a small town in Central Minnesota wasn’t easy. She reacted to the unease of young adulthood by living life to the fullest, which is a “Minnesota nice” way of saying she frequently got herself and others into trouble. When she wasn’t being a delinquent, she was probably making up stories, which, of course, led to more trouble. Elizabeth became a respectable adult, with a couple of college degrees, a teaching career, and a family. Fortunately, she still gets into trouble and loves to write about young adults, who are also living life to the fullest.
