- Barbara Cook -
- Shayla Gray -
Barbara Cook was born in Geelong, Australia, trained and worked as a primary teacher and taught dance, dance therapy, dance choreography and movement studies in various private, therapeutic, and community settings.
​
Her first book, “Good Choice—A Soul’s Story,” was written (only for herself, she thought) in 1990. It was only a personal upheaval in 2014 and the ensuing burst of compassion that convinced her to publish it in 2016. It went on to be one of three finalists in the New Age Fiction category of the International Book Awards in 2016.
​
She now offers modalities such as Mindfulness Meditation, Reiki, Soul-Focused Psychotherapy and online Soul Journey workshops.

Bianca B is a teenager living on the Bellarine Peninsula and completing her high school studies. Diagnosed with level 2 autism, it hasn't always been easy for Bianca to express herself in a way that others find acceptable. However, she's found a release through writing and creating stories both fictitious and true.
- T.J. Thompson -
Tabitha has enjoyed writing since her Year 2 Teacher encouraged her to create her own storybooks from paper, cardboard and contact. From that moment on, she explored different forms of writing such as short stories, poetry and many articles. It wasn't until the early birth of her daughter due to HELLP Syndrome, that Tabitha felt compelled to publish her own children's book and what followed was her first novel. Tabitha has also been a contributor to Mamamia, Forte Magazine and other publications. She loves writing and is looking forward to one day publishing her next novel.

- Sage Quinn -
Sage Quinn may look somewhat familiar, but don't be fooled. She is a force to be reckoned with in her own right.
A romantic at heart, she became captivated by stories of love after reconnecting with her high school sweetheart after 40 years apart. An unexpected reconnection via friends on social media showed that their love hadn't died. They are now married and live on Victoria's surf coast.
