Aaron Ryan lives in Washington with his wife and two sons, along with Macy the dog, Winston the cat, and Merry & Pippin, the finches.

He is the author of the “Dissonance” series, several business books on multimedia production penned under a pseudonym, as well as a previous fictional novel, “The Omega Room.”

When he was in second grade, he was tasked with writing a creative assignment: a fictional book. And thus, “The Electric Boy” was born: a simple novella full of intrigue, fantasy, and 7-year-old wits that electrified Aaron’s desire to write. From that point forward, Aaron evolved into a creative soul that desired to create.

He enjoys the arts, media, music, performing, poetry, and being a daddy. In his lifetime he has been an author, voiceover artist, wedding videographer, stage performer, musician, producer, rock/pop artist, executive assistant, service manager, paperboy, CSR, poet, tech support, worship leader, and more. The diversity of his life experiences gives him a unique approach to business, life, ministry, faith, and entertainment.

Aaron’s favorite author by far is J.R.R. Tolkien, but he also enjoys Suzanne Collins, James S.A. Corey, Marie Lu, Madeleine L’Engle, C.S. Lewis, and Stephen King.

Aaron has always had a passion for storytelling. He plans to continue Cameron’s odyssey for truth and accountability in this series, and all information on it can be found at www.dissonancetheseries.com.

My name is Adam C. Outerbridge and I am a young currently 21 year old, self-published author with Dyspraxia from the UK. Writing for me largely came out of nowhere and happened whilst I was still studying at Sixth Form but now it has become such a massive part of my world as I finally found a way to turn my imagination and inspirations into something tangible.

My works do and are planned going to continue stretching across various different genres as at the end of the day I don't really know which genre is going to be seen as my best. Furthermore most of my works are inspired by things that I am interested in or grew up loving such as Nature, History, Philosophy or then on the more creative side DC, Lord of the Rings, Stargate. 

I do also have a youtube - Kingdom of Aphalas 2 and whilst the main content is that of the books and their worldbuilding, updates and such - there is also now a podcast focused around Young adults of similar ages and their passions whether it is creative industry or something else.

Her two novels, Swimming With Fishes, published in 2017 and had its audio rights bought out by Danish Publisher, Saga Egmont, the second largest publishing house, and Love Again, published in 2020, was one of the Jacaranda #Twentyin2020 Authors initiative.

Her second novel, Love Again was short-listed for the Romantic Novelist Association Award 2021, in the Inclusion Category. Rasheda is the Founder and Director of The WILDE Foundation's annual Writers’ Festival for Female Authors of Colour, and Indie Authors, which hosts a short story and poetry competition leading up to the festival.

Rasheda has designed and written three Creative Writing Workshops; the flagship JustWrite, which provides a platform for new and seasoned writers, Writing to Exhale, which is an introduction to journaling, visualising, and writing for well-being, and Still I Write, for advanced writers and novelists, all aimed at women, online and face to face.

Rasheda is the co-founder and CEO of The WILDE Foundation, (WILDE is an acronym for Women In Literature Development Empowerment) a women’s and girls’ charity that turns victims and survivors into INFLUENCERS by providing a creative space that enables and empowers women to express themselves by scribing their stories, poems and spoken words that one day could become another woman’s survival guide.

Most writers start their bio with an explanation of who they are and why they write. I’ll make this simple. My name is Sherri Fulmer Moorer. I write because I’ve always loved to do it, and ebooks allowed me to share those stories with readers that I couldn’t pass up. The purpose of my writing is to redefine reality and experience the adventure of ordinary people dealing with extraordinary circumstances.

I write in a variety of genres because I can’t be pigeonholed into one area, and I’m many other things in addition to being an author. I work full-time in professional licensing, which is great for keeping me in touch with people and reality and, in turn, inspires me to write more. I’m married and live in the woods with two parrots that keep our hearts, homes, and lives filled with joy and silliness that most people find strange. I’m a book reviewer, social media rambler, and borderline introvert/extrovert whose kindred spirit, according to online quizzes, is somewhere between a Sith Inquisitor from Star Wars and Scooter from The Muppets.

Tracy Alexander Rigg - A short biography 

Tracy Alexander Rigg has been making sculpture, design, poetry, film and live events since 1982. These have taken a number of forms and been shown in several different countries. If there is a common thread to the style and content of these events then it must be a strong need to push boundaries around, to set foot on unknown soil and generally to play with our concepts of art outside its accepted form. He trained as an archaeological illustrator, drystone dyker, blacksmith, fine-artist, dancer and writer, timber-framer and costume maker/designer. His performance work, has been shown in many different countries and to many different kinds of people. His approach is off-beat and he has! worked with, for and alongside many leading creative artists and companies in Scotland and internationally. He runs a collaborative performance company called Oceanallover whose main preoccupation is to take imaginative and poetic work into unusual places. His performance style borrows from many influences and genres, making reference to film,! literature and popular culture. The subject matter of the work is often linked to global and! philosophical concerns and encourages its audience to look harder at who and what they are. The physical reality of the performances are based on a reaction to the given location and the viewing public. The audience are often as surprised as the performers to find themselves in the middle of something odd, and this element of surprise certainly helps to give the work an edge. The size of the cast and the complexity of the presentation, varying from one to one hundred, and is also governed by the location. Design forms a major part of the work and one in which Fine Art and performance meet most closely. The costume is complex and innovative, drawing on influences from historical and cultural icons to architectural or geological forms. The work is constantly evolving and made to a high standard.

Some examples of Recent Events and collaborations: “Ecdysis” 2022 Collaboration with Mr Pearl; “TAWA “for Cie Gratte Ciel, costume collaboration for the launch of Galway 2020 and Coventry year of Culture 2021; 2019 Staging Places Exhibition at the V&A in London with the British Society of Theatre Designers; Unexpected Exeter 2016 “On Tenterhooks” - site specific event; Jorvik Viking Festival 2018 - Howling Wolf sculpture; Not To Scale - collaborative project supported by Creative Scotland and Crawick Artland Trust (Charles Jenks); Christchurch Arts Festival, New Zealand - site specific performances; Mirabilia Festival, Italy - site specific performance.

Andy cut his entrepreneurial teeth at the age of 16 by becoming Burton Snowboard’s first Aspen distributor. After his college years, he discovered a culture of independent animators in Portland, Oregon, and moved there, working at Teknifilm, the local 35mm film processing lab while connecting with the local artists and studios. He freelanced for Will Vinton Studios (Claymation, California Raisins, The PJs), Blashfield Studio (photo cut-out, MTV music videos), and mentored with Tom Arndt of Merlin’s Hammer.

Andy met Amy Blumenstein while producing It’s About Peace, a collaborative short film that Amy and many other local artists contributed animated scenes to. Andy and Amy soon married (at the Portland Zoo) and started their boutique studio, Happy Trails Animation. Ever the innovator, after several “nose to the grindstone” years of producing and directing commercial animation for ad agencies, Andy developed a distinct, low-cost, high-production value approach to generating Motion Comics and Motion Posters. This creative venture resulted in a stretch of work for Disney (Tron, The Muppets), Starz Entertainment (Spartacus, The Crazies), and BBC Worldwide (Doctor Who, Torchwood).

Andy continues to explore and innovate through digital storytelling. He finds writing truthful tales about his childhood, perspective, and work to be a total blast.
