Karlyle Tomms is a writer who grew up in rural Ozarks poverty. He completed his master’s degree in 1981. He has written for different regional magazines and newspapers over the years. He often is selected to speak at professional and non-professional events and radio talk shows. However, he had never published fiction until completing his first novel in 2014. His general method for fiction has been to define a character and allow that character to tell their own story from a first-person perspective as though the character is writing an autobiography. Through his characters, he explores the psychology of the human condition and the various elements and entanglements of personalities. His novels incorporate the social and historical influences surrounding the lifetimes of his characters and are stories of overcoming social, emotional, and spiritual challenges.

A native of Brooklyn, NY, my name is Elizabeth Graybill.  I am a single mother of 4 adult children and eight grandchildren. I also am the author of "Unbreakable Me Still I Rise," available on Amazon Goodreads and Barnes and Noble. I am the founder of "Our Voice Matters," a therapeutic life coaching company that focuses on high-risk young adults in the prison system. The goals are to teach young adults a new way of thinking and give them different tools and perspectives they need to be productive in society to prevent them from going back into the prison system. We learn about their lives, where they come from, and the family dynamic so we can best assist them on how to deal with everyday struggles. I am a survivor of child molestation, sexual assault, and drug addiction, among other situations, so I can relate to many of the issues these young folks struggle with, which makes the difference.

Corbie Mitleid has always been “the different one.” A writer and visionary in a completely medical family (father a doctor, mother a nurse, brother a doctor), she has always made her own path rather than take one cut for her by others. Leaving an Ivy League university after two years, Corbie struck out to find where joy and purpose lived, regardless of what she was told she “ought” to do. The path wasn’t easy. Two marriages, which didn’t last, and a constant search for the Partner Who Understood. A succession of jobs. A series of spiritual paths. Moving from Cambridge to Philadelphia to Poughkeepsie to New York City to Atlanta. Out of the blue, breast cancer—not once, but three times. Life became a roller coaster with no brakes, asking Corbie to survive divorce, abuse, poverty and life-threatening illness. But through all of this, she learned the value of the Examined Life: meeting challenges and always asking the next question, facing each new situation with strength, courage and humor Links: www.corbiemi
