Phillipa Nefri Clark - Pen & Purpose with Phillipa
A USA Today bestselling author, Phillipa lives just outside a beautiful town in country Victoria, Australia. She also lives in the many worlds of her imagination and stockpiles stories beside her laptop.
She writes from the heart about love, dreams, secrets, discovery, the sea, the world as she knows it… or wishes it could be. She loves happy endings, heart-pounding suspense, and characters who stay with you long after the final page.

Charlotte McKissick - August Cover & What's Cooking
Charlotte is a retired overachiever seeking solace in solitude with a dude whose daily goal seems to be less than a 50 word count of the day.
She loves pandering to a spoiled fur ball whose loved beyond measure, walking around the yard with the newest addition Daisy a beautiful red lab found abandoned at a park, pulling weeds, scouring the internet for recipes, figuring out the science of sourdough bread and the science of ingredient exchange from foods the mainstream world eats to foods that feed you on a cellular level. And embracing a life of health and wellness as well as being a partner for the most amazing human she knows.
When not watching every reality, true crime, historical documentary ever produced, she's reading and sharing with this wonderful community and finally finding a place she fits.
Pat Allchorne - Book Reviews & Craft Column
For nearly 20 years I ran a second-hand bookshop in Warrington in North-West England.
It was over 2,000 sq ft, and by the time I closed it, there were about 40,000 books on every subject imaginable. Since I learned to read at the age of three and a half, I’ve never been without books in my life, and it was a dream job while it worked.
Sadly, once the internet took off and the net book agreement ceased, customers dropped off, and even selling online – which I did for a while – wasn’t enough to pay the rent and rates of such a large place.
I am now retired, with a couple of thousand books of my own, and reading is still a joy, especially when I discover new authors.
