Tanja Cilia

I am Maltese, Mediterranean, and European – in that order. My writing career began when I was 14 years old, because of happenstance, serendipity, and necessity. Reading articles in newspapers and magazines, I knew I could do better than that. So, I wrote (not typed) an article, and sent it to The Times of Malta… and the rest is history. These days, I am a Freelance Writer /Editor /Journalist /Proof-reader /Newspaper Columnist. I translate Maltese to English, and vice versa.

Cherrel Turner-Callwood

 I currently live in Florida for the past 2 years. During this time, I have published 3 books with a fourth one coming out on March 1, 2020. I have a tendency to write about things people really don't want to talk about such as child sexual abuse. I find that this crisis has had a tremendous effect on many. My personal story is posted in my adult book "Journey of an Invisible Brown Girl" pertaining to my experience. I also developed a female superhero who addresses this issue and others for children. It's hope that, 'The Adventures of Chocolate Sunshine ', will be introduced and discussed with all children at home as well as in schools.
I was interviewed with GreyFeathers.com and have done a podcast on blogtalkradio.com pertaining to this topic.
I have some baby books written and ready for me to publish as soon as I figure out how to do board books.
I have raised 5 children, completed my Master's degree in Criminal Justice.
As a crone, I have become more creative and outside of writing, I make jewelry, make natural skin products, experiment with natural remedies, enjoy nature, food, dancing, and traveling.

Rebecca McCurry

You know how when life is busy with work, kids, obligations, etc. you promise yourself that when you finally have the time, you will write...well, I, Rebecca McCurry, finally have the time.

Two years ago, I had a stroke and have been battling with subsequent health issues culminating in cervical surgery two months ago. These challenges gave me the opportunity to see life differently and reminded me to value the simple things in life. I take nothing for granted.

At just 55, I was forced to retire ( due to health issues) from a 28 year career teaching English and writing. As a runner, cyclist and avid Yoga practitioner, sitting still was not my forte! However, the stroke left me no choice but to develop patience. I consider it a gift in disguise!

Now, it is my turn to write for pleasure and to indulge my quest for knowledge as a lifetime learner. I have begun my new career as a writer by creating a personal blog and site to enrich the lives of others. My blog CelticWinds ( musings on life and meditation) and The Strength of Women ( posts to encourage and support each other) can be found via FB. I’m writing a book about strong, little known women in history who have contributed to change. It is a culmination of years of research.

Gertraude Roth Li

Gertraude Roth Li is a non-fiction author. Though she grew up in a tiny village in northern Germany, her passion for international living soon turned her into a global nomad. After moving to the US and earning a Ph.D. in Chinese history and Asian languages, she spent several years living in Taiwan, Switzerland, and Japan. More recently she left Hawaii – her home for 34 years -- and with her husband moved into a retirement community in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. where she enjoys walking and hiking outdoors and using her bookbinding skills to repair a ton of dilapidated books for the residents of the community. After earlier publishing an academic textbook for learning the Manchu language, Gertraude recently published “Lights & Shadows: Discoveries Away From Home. Perspectives on American, German and Chinese Cultures.” This non-fiction book, a project which took ten years to complete, is based on nearly a hundred interviews and also includes Gertraude’s own insights and experiences. It was a labor of love and seeks to share the joys and challenges that come with living as a foreigner in one of these three cultures.
