JUDY MCLAUGHLIN

“It is safe to say my journey as a writer began when I was six years old and wrote the epic short story: The Bunny and His Eggs. My passion for writing and storytelling has never wavered.

I hope my words resonate with my readers to the point where they are moved, sometimes to tears, sometimes to laughter, but always to connect and feel a part of something bigger. Remember, at the end of the day we all have more in common than we even realize. Let's remember to connect and be kind.”

Judy’s latest release, Top Five is available to buy on Amazon.

ANDREA STEIN

“I've spent my professional career as a book publicist, primarily representing authors of non-fiction books, particularly in the business space. However, I have always been a writer -- since childhood. My debut novel, ‘TYPECAST’ was released in September 2022.

I continue to work as a book publicist, but my focus is on growing my reputation as a novelist.”

Andrea’s latest release, “Dear Eliza” is available to buy on multiple platforms.
