Deb Elkink lives in a cottage beside a babbling creek in southern Alberta, Canada, a stone’s throw from the Montana border and home base for exotic travels with her husband of half a century. She published her first bits of writing after graduating university (BA Communications), then married and spent twenty years as a homeschooling mom and ranch wife—rounding up cattle, earning her private pilot’s license, and cooking for huge branding crews. A graduate degree (MA Theology, summa cum laude) led to publication of a literary study on the fiction of G.K. Chesterton (ROOTS AND BRANCHES), prepared her as an academic editor, and jettisoned her into her long-held dream of writing "literary fiction with a theological twist." Her tales, incorporating travel and taste buds and the tumults of the heart, include two award-winning novels (THE THIRD GRACE and THE RED JOURNAL) as well as a collection of short stories (VAGABOND COME HOME).

Johnnie Alexander is a wannabe vagabond with a heart for making memories. Whether at home or on the road, she creates characters you want to meet and imagines stories you won't forget.

Johnnie is on the executive boards of Serious Writer, Inc. and Mid-South Christian Writers Conference, co-hosts an online show called Writers Chat, and teaches at writers conferences and for Serious Writer Academy.

A fan of classic movies, stacks of books, and road trips, Johnnie shares a life of quiet adventure with Griff, her happy-go-lucky collie, and Rugby, her raccoon-treeing papillon.

     In a fit of optimism at age eleven, Eleanor Bertin began her first novel by numbering a stack of 100 pages. Two of them got filled.

     Eleanor holds a college diploma in Communications and worked in agriculture journalism until the birth of her first child. The family eventually grew to include seven children, all girls except six. Writing was crowded out by homeschooling a houseful for 25 years until Lifelines, her first completed novel and Book 1 in The Ties that Bind series, was shortlisted in the 2015 Word Alive Free Publishing Contest.

     Eleanor and her husband live with their youngest son, who has Down syndrome, amidst the ongoing renovation of a century home in central Alberta. She blogs about a sometimes elusive contentment at jewelofcontentment.wordpress.com. www.eleanorbertinauthor.com
